Indian Corporate Fundraising via Commercial Papers Hits Five-Year High in June
Indian corporates raised Rs 2.53 lakh crore through commercial papers (CPs) in June, marking a near five-year high driven by favorable pricing, seasonal working capital needs, and debt refinancing. Issuances rose 84.6% from May and 59.4% year-on-year. Corporates and NBFCs preferred CPs over costlier bank loans amid stable credit conditions and strong investor demand. Additionally, NBFCs led securitisation issuances to a record first-quarter high, with gold loans becoming the largest asset class, reflecting robust credit demand and investor appetite.
