India's Bond Markets See Increased Issuances Amid Yield Softening and Calls for Reforms
India's bond markets are showing increased activity amid softer yields, with corporate bond issuances expected to exceed ₹1 trillion in June as borrowing costs decline. State development loans (SDLs) also saw higher mobilization, with nine states raising over ₹20,000 crore despite falling short of planned targets. However, challenges remain, including adverse taxation, limited secondary-market liquidity, and a narrow investor base, prompting calls from CareEdge Ratings for tax reforms and broader market participation to deepen the corporate bond market.
