Sebi to Release Consultation Paper on Corporate Bond Distribution Framework
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) plans to release a consultation paper soon on a new distribution framework for corporate bonds. This initiative aims to enhance transparency, accessibility, and efficiency in bond investments, particularly by expanding retail investor access to privately placed bonds through online platforms. Sebi is also considering introducing new distributor categories to deepen debt market participation. Public bond issues currently represent less than 1% of total bond issuance, highlighting the need for improved distribution mechanisms.
