markets COST UPS security Updates Companies face soaring short-term debt costs despite RBI support

Mint.On Friday, the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (Nabard) raised about ₹6,000 crore through one-year CDs at 7.35%, around 25 basis points (bps) higher than interest rates seen a week ago.“For a three-year paper, Nabard was willing to pay 7.50%, but the demand was at 7.60-7.70%, so they did not raise funds through three-month maturity but raised one-year paper, and if rates are high, they will borrow short-term,” a senior treasury official said on the condition of anonymity.Treasury officials expect more companies to tap the money market after Nabard, but warn that even short-term borrowing will be challenging.Since the beginning of the month, interest rates on three-month CDs, issued by scheduled commercial banks and select all-India financial institutions (AIFIs), have risen by 25-50bps to 7.30-7.80% as of 13 March, while one-year CD rates have increased by about 25bps to 7.15%, according to data from Derivium Tradition Securities India Pvt. Ltd.Rates on three-month CPs issued by non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) have jumped by 45bps to 7.55-8.05%, while those with one-year maturities have risen by 25-30bps to 7.50-7.60%.Typically, short-term interest rates rise in March due to seasonal fiscal-year-end factors, as banks and financial institutions step up funding activity to maintain liquidity amid tax outflows.“Because of advance tax outflows and goods and services tax (GST) outflows, it was expected that short-term rates would go up, but signs are visible that, despite RBI’s liquidity injection through open market operations, short-term rates have spiked,” the treasury official added.So far, the central bank has conducted two auctions of ₹50,000 crore each.

₹10,900-crore PM E-Drive scheme, to ease component shortages and support early EV deployments.This is the second time that rules for local manufacturing have been relaxed for these vehicle segments. Earlier in September 2025, the ministry of heavy industries (MHI) had deferred the deadline till March 2026 to stop imports of this component under the scheme's sourcing rules.In a 13 March notification, the government has allowed the use of imported traction motor sub-assemblies in electric trucks and buses till 1 September 2026.PM E-Drive, or Prime Minister Electric Drive Revolution in Innovative Vehicle Enhancement, scheme aims to promote electric mobility in the country by subsidising electric vehicles and charging infrastructure.While rare earth magnet-free motors are being used in electric two-wheelers and some electric three-wheelers, larger electric vehicles need to import sub-assemblies where the magnets are already fused with the motor.Mint reported on 29 December that e-bus and e-truck makers were seeking a one-year relaxation in localisation rules under the scheme.Analysts said that the government's move to extend relaxation was a pragmatic step to increase sales of zero-emission commercial electric vehicles (EVs).

Dhurandhar: The Revenge was, like its first edition, is anyway unlikely to release in the territory given its patriotic and anti-Islamic theme, other titles scheduled for the coming weeks could bear the brunt, given the unpredictable timeline of disruption.Over the coming weeks, Akshay Kumar’s horror comedy Bhooth Bangla, Telugu film Dacoit, and Malayalam titles Aadu 3, Drishyam 3 and Pallichattambi would have ordinarily looked to West Asia for box-office returns. Indian film buffs are now unlikely to make it to theatres to watch these films under present circumstances even if cinemas are technically functional.The region is among the top five overseas markets for Indian films along with the US, the UK, Australia and New Zealand.Industry experts said most Indian film producers are in a wait-and-watch mode, with only Kannada star Yash’s Toxic moved to June, citing tensions in the region.To put it in perspective, a big hit like Shah Rukh Khan's 2023 release Jawan had earned nearly ₹150 crore from the UAE alone and trade experts estimate that 25-30% of overseas box office comes from West Asia.“There will definitely be a big impact.
