Sebi extends compliance period for 3 yrs for large corporates to raise 25% of incremental borrowings via debt mkt

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has extended the compliance requirement for large corporates to raise at least 25% of their incremental borrowings through debt securities to a contiguous block of three years from the present two years. This decision comes after the board of Sebi allowed the proposal. Previously, large corporates needed to mobilize a minimum of 25% of their borrowings through the issue of debt securities in a financial year, which had been mandated over a contiguous block of two years.
