Indian traders anticipate a record gross borrowing of ₹16.5 trillion in the upcoming fiscal year, an 11% increase driven by significant debt maturities. This surge in supply may keep borrowing costs elevated in the $1.3 trillion bond market, complicating economic pressures amid high US tariffs and limited room for interest rate cuts.
• Net borrowing expected at ₹11.6 trillion
• Fiscal deficit projected at 4.2% of GDP
Traders should brace for potential volatility in bond yields as the market adjusts to this increased supply.
