NBFCs lead March CP issuances; corporate borrowing may ease in FY27: Ind-Ra

: Non-banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) continued to drive activity in the commercial paper (CP) market in March, even as corporates turned cautious amid elevated short-term borrowing costs, a report by India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) said.
