Chief Executive Officer of NITI Aayog B.V.R. Subrahmanyam said that India’s journey toward the vision of Viksit Bharat requires a robust and diversified financial ecosystem capable of mobilising long-term capital at scale. He said this while releasing the report on Deepening the Corporate Bond Market in India in New Delhi today. Speaking on the occasion, Mr Subrahmanyam said this report underscores how a deeper and more efficient corporate bond market will be central to enabling that transition by expanding market access, improving liquidity, and strengthening investor participation. He added that the report also includes a comparative analysis with global markets, highlights structural gaps, and offers targeted recommendations to strengthen legal, regulatory, and market infrastructure frameworks. The CEO further highlighted that the report included an opportunity for the corporate bond market to play an even greater role in mobilising capital for infrastructure, MSMEs, green and transition finance, and emerging sectors.
