Nabard Withdraws ₹8,000 Crore Bond Issue Amid Higher Yield Demands
Nabard withdrew its planned ₹8,000 crore five-year bond issue after investor demand for higher yields exceeded the issuer's acceptable range. Bids fell short of the target, with investors seeking yields above 7.60%, amid geopolitical tensions and anticipation of the Reserve Bank of India's upcoming monetary policy. Market participants noted cautious investor sentiment and volatility in bond yields, leading to selective fund deployment and subdued primary bond market activity compared to previous periods.
