SEBI pushes for deeper, more liquid corporate bond market in India
What happened
SEBI Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey stated that India's corporate bond market has grown sharply, with outstanding volumes reaching around ₹61 lakh crore. This growth is up from ₹20 lakh crore in FY2015-16. Pandey added that over ₹4.3 lakh crore had already been raised through corporate bonds in FY2026-27 alone. SEBI is focusing on improving liquidity, price discovery, and participation across the debt-market ecosystem.

Why it matters
SEBI is actively pushing for deeper and more liquid debt markets. The regulator is working on structural improvements, including the launch of Demat 2.0, a pilot for tokenization of corporate bonds on a private distributed-ledger network. This approach aims to develop the entire corporate bond market ecosystem, rather than relying solely on increased issuance volumes.
