HICL Infrastructure Company Limited has announced that it has successfully increased the size of the group's revolving credit facility from £200 million (US$255 million) to £300 (US$382 million) million.

Terms of the enlarged facility remain the same, with a margin of 1.70% over Libor and expiry in May 2019.

The banks providing the facility have expanded with ING ‎joining National Australia Bank, Lloyds Bank, Royal Bank of Scotland, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation and HSBC in the banking group.

The company has increased the size of this facility in light of the pipeline of new opportunities the group is evaluating.
