Indian companies turn to banks as bond borrowing costs rise
In short
Indian companies are borrowing more from banks because bond borrowing has become more expensive. The report says demand has come from NBFCs, wholesale trade, commercial real estate, power and chemicals.
This matters for banks and company funding costs, but the reporting does not say how much lending rose or which lenders benefited most.
