The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) reported a dramatic increase in private sector investments in bonds and debentures, which reached ₹35,981 crore in FY25, a substantial rise from just ₹224 crore in the previous fiscal year. Corporate bond issuances also experienced growth, totaling ₹9.87 lakh crore, up from ₹8.38 lakh crore in FY24. This surge is attributed to heightened interest from foreign investors, particularly after JP Morgan's announcement of including Indian government securities in its index, followed by Bloomberg's Bond Index inclusion. These developments have positively impacted bond prices, making them an attractive investment option. Conversely, investments in equity instruments plummeted by 62.25%, dropping to ₹59,945 crore from ₹1.59 lakh crore in FY24. Additionally, mutual fund investments decreased to ₹3,656 crore from ₹6,700 crore in the previous year. Despite the decline in equity investments, the operating profit and profit after tax for private companies continued to exhibit double-digit growth, driven mainly by the services sector.
