Foreign Investors Betting on Indian Bonds — Is Your Fixed Income Strategy Ready?
With FIIs accumulating $7.7 billion in Indian government bonds year-to-date (already exceeding 2025's total inflows), the debt market is clearly attracting global capital amid equity uncertainty. India's inclusion in the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Bond Index could unlock up to $27 billion in flows by 2028. While markets digest mixed signals—IT gains offset by banking and realty weakness—this is an ideal time to review your fixed-income allocation. FDs and bonds are offering attractive yields with strong external validation.
