    Solution

    In India the Government bonds has the highest market capitalization among debt instruments. Corporate debt market is still not very developed in India and SEBI and government is trying to deepen the corporate debt market by encouraging large corporates to raise more funds through debt markets rather than from banks. One of the measures introduced by SEBI is that the large corporates have been mandated to raise at least 25% of their incremental borrowings through issue of debt instruments.
