Nabard rejected its ₹8,000-crore bond offering as investors demanded higher yields

Nabard rejected its ₹8,000-crore bond offering as investors demanded higher yields amid geopolitical uncertainties and anticipated hawkish monetary policy. Corporate bond issuances fell to ₹97,053 crore in the first four months of FY26 from almost double last year. Elevated government bond yields pushed borrowing costs up, discouraging companies from issuing bonds. This highlights investor caution and selective fund deployment awaiting market clarity.
