RBI's surprisingly hawkish tone in policy minutes weighs on Indian bonds

Early Thursday saw a significant sell-off in Indian government bonds as minutes from the central bank's recent policy meeting hinted at possible rate hikes. Policymakers conveyed increased concerns about inflationary pressures within the economy. Additionally, soaring oil prices exacerbated anxieties about rising interest rates, potentially putting further strain on the rupee and negatively impacting the inflation forecast.

Notably, the company last issued bonds back in October 2019. There is significant interest from mutual funds in these investment opportunities.
