    Sebi works to deepen corporate, municipal bond markets

    The capital markets regulator is working on several proposals to strengthen the corporate and municipal bond markets in India, according to three people familiar with the development.

    These steps include allowing greater flexibility in using corporate bonds as collateral to borrow and encouraging local bodies to sell bonds to the public by putting in place bankruptcy procedures, they said, requesting anonymity.
