1.1. Government of India in the Union Budget of 2018-19, made the following announcement: “SEBI will also consider mandating, beginning with large Corporates, to meet about one-fourth of their financing needs from the debt market.” 1.2. A series of steps have been taken, over time, by Government in consultation with Regulators, to develop and deepen the bond market. At the same time, however, concerns have been raised about the ability of banks to finance increasing borrowing needs of the corporates, especially as the investment cycle has shown an upward tick. Accordingly, the said budget announcement may be seen as a step in the direction of the larger goal of not only to reduce reliance on banks to finance corporates but also to develop a liquid and vibrant corporate bond market.
