Power Finance Corporation, SIDBI Scrap ₹11,500 Crore Bond Issues

-Post by Aare Keerthi


In a surprising turn for India’s debt market, two major financial institutions — Power Finance Corporation (PFC) and the Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) — have withdrawn their proposed bond issuances worth a combined ₹11,500 crore. The move has drawn attention from investors and analysts, highlighting shifting market conditions and tightening yields.

Why the Bond Issues Were Withdrawn

Both institutions had planned large bond offerings, but recent fluctuations in market sentiment and rising borrowing costs are believed to have influenced the decision. With yields firming up and investors seeking better pricing, the environment became less conducive for raising funds at the expected rates.

Key Factors:

  • Higher-than-expected yield demands from investors

  • Volatile bond market conditions

  • RBI’s monetary stance impacting borrowing costs

  • Tight liquidity leading institutions to reconsider timing

Breakdown of the Cancelled Bond Plans

Power Finance Corporation (PFC)

  • Planned to raise around ₹10,000 crore

  • Bonds were expected to support ongoing infrastructure financing

  • Scrapped due to unfavourable pricing expectations and tepid investor interest

SIDBI

  • Intended to raise approx. ₹1,500 crore

  • Funds were aimed at MSME financing and credit expansion

  • Decided to withdraw and reassess optimal timing

Impact on the Market

The cancellation of such high-value issuances has prompted discussions on the near-term outlook for India’s debt markets.

Market Implications:

  • May signal cautious borrower sentiment amid rising yields

  • Could lead to postponements or repricing of upcoming bond issuances

  • Investors may anticipate more favourable pricing in future offers

  • Institutions might explore alternative financing routes

What This Means for Borrowers and Investors

With interest rates expected to remain stable or rise gradually, borrowers could face higher capital-raising costs. Meanwhile, investors may benefit from better yield opportunities as issuers adjust to market expectations.
