India Advances Tokenised Corporate Bonds to Enhance Liquidity and Global Access
India is advancing its corporate bond market through a pilot program using tokenisation, distributed ledger technology, and central bank digital currency to improve issuance efficiency and settlement. The initiative, involving bonds rated AA or lower and issues above Rs 200 crore, aims to enhance liquidity, reduce borrowing costs, and attract broader investor participation, including potential global capital. Early issuances have raised over Rs 1,000 crore, demonstrating progress toward integrating Indian credit markets with global workflows while maintaining regulatory safeguards.
