India's corporate bond market has witnessed impressive growth in the last decade, with outstanding issuances increasing from Rs. 17.5 lakh crores in FY 2015 to Rs. 53.6 lakh crores in FY 2025, with an annual growth rate of 12%.
With the debt market accounting for over 63% of the total resource mobilisation from the primary market, retail investors are now considering investing in bonds.
Bonds offer regular and predictable cash flows, making them an attractive option for those seeking stability and regular income.
With a wide variety of bonds available, investors can choose based on issuer, credit rating, coupon rate, and tenure, among other factors.
Online Bond Platform Providers (OBPPs) have made it easier for retail investors to access and invest in bonds from various issuers.
To decide which bonds to invest in and what percentage of the portfolio to allocate to bonds, it is recommended to consult a financial advisor who can evaluate the risk profile and recommend the best options.
