INTRODUCTION
Financial Markets in India have several facets and are segregated into Capital and Money markets. Product based classification gives rise to segmentation of market into equity, debt, foreign exchange and futures. In many countries, debt market (both sovereign and corporate) is larger than equity markets. In fact, in matured economies debt market is three times the size of the equity market. Investment in equity being riskier, certain class of investors chooses to invest in debt, based on their risk appetite and liquidity requirements. In fact, most investors like to spread their investments into equity, debt and other classes of assets for reasons of optimal combination of return, liquidity and safety. A vibrant debt market enables investors to shuffle, reshuffle their portfolio depending upon the expected changes. Debt market provides financial resources for the development of infrastructure. Therefore, a well functioning of debt market becomes significant for all the market participants. The forcefulness of Indian debt market leaves much to be desired. So it was felt with our regulatory responsibility of developing the market that greater focus should be provided by SEBI on development of debt market. Financial markets have been largely determined by two factors, i.e. technology and regulation. At present, technology is freely available. As a result, we need to focus on the critical role regulation plays in the development of a market. Regulation determines what can, and cannot, be done and provides the operating environment. However, in India, regulation has developed, as also restricted, the growth of the Indian debt market.
