Fundraising via private bonds hit record high in 2023: Report
₹9.58 trillion in 2023, reflecting a 26 percent increase from the previous year, shows data released by Prime Database. The upswing can be attributed to a surge in credit demand propelled by robust economic growth, Pranav Haldea, managing director of Prime Database Group says.

The highest mobilisation in the year came from All-India Financial Institutions and banks, accounting for ₹4.71 trillion, marking a 29 percent increase from the previous year’s ₹3.66 trillion, as per the report.
