Pricing to remain key in largely stable corporate bond market in 2026
Despite a 125-basis-point cut in the policy repo rate since February 2025, bond yields remain elevated, suggesting that pricing this year will be driven more by demand-supply dynamics, maturity preferences, and global factors than by expectations of further policy easing. With yields staying high, bank loan rates — following transmission of rate cuts — have become more attractive for borrowers rated just below AAA, who were already finding it difficult to raise funds at favourable rates in the bond market. According to Primedatabase, corporates raised about ₹10.08 trillion from the bond market in 2025, broadly unchanged from ₹10.09 trillion in 2024. While the first half of 2025 saw healthy activity, issuance slowed in the second half due to factors that kept yields elevated, including geopolitical concerns and market oversupply.
