In the financial year 2021-22, listed companies in the market have raised a total of Rs 5.88 lakh crore through corporate bonds. Please note here that this is the lowest level in the last six years. According to the report, the reason for this has been the better performance of the stock market and low-interest loans by banks.

24 percent less than last financial year

According to the data released by the capital and markets regulator SEBI. The amount raised through corporate bonds in the financial year 2021-22 is 24 percent less than the amount raised in the previous financial year 2020-21. An amount of Rs 7.72 lakh crore was raised from these bonds that year. Experts say that the activities of raising funds through debt may intensify in the current financial year.
