Debt

In India, while the equity markets have been established and functioning fully since many years, the debt capital markets are poised on the threshold of growth and expansion. Increased awareness, regulatory changes and marketability of debt instruments are some of the key contributors to the escalation of the debt markets in India. Investment in debt instruments add steady interest revenues to the portfolio of an investor and also reduce the volatility in the investment portfolio.

A public issue of debt securities or bonds means that a company gives an opportunity to the public, institutions and investors to subscribe to the debt securities or bonds issued by them. The investors not only have the advantage of interest revenue for the portion of debt securities or bonds held by them but as these debt securities or bonds are listed on a recognised stock exchange in India, they have the advantage to trade in these debt securities or bonds as well. A public issue of debt securities or bonds is a safe and cost effective manner of raising funds by companies. They also have a definite period or term and can be redeemed after the end of the term.
