India Company Yields Set to Rise Most Since 2022 on Fiscal Risks

Borrowing costs for Indian companies are set to climb at the fastest pace in more than two years, as concerns mount that the government's tax cuts may result in higher borrowing and squeeze out issuers. The average yield on top-rated three year company notes climbed 26 basis points in two days through Tuesday, set for the steepest weekly gain since November 2022, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Yield eased slightly on Wednesday, slipping about two basis points amid thin volumes in the secondary market, traders said. Meanwhile, the 10-year bond yield has risen 11 basis points this week to 7.29%, the highest since March.
