Private issuers grabbed a record 45% of India’s corporate bond market this year, eclipsing state‑run firms, according to PRIME Database.
PRIME Database’s latest ledger shows that private entities issued a larger volume of bonds than any other segment, a trend that has accelerated over the past twelve months.
State‑run issuers, in contrast, saw a noticeable pullback, their bond issuance shrinking as they moved to alternative funding routes.
The tug‑of‑war between private and public borrowing may prompt regulators to reassess oversight of corporate bond markets, while investors eye a potentially more competitive issuance landscape in the coming quarters.
