CNBC-TV18, along with CNBC AWAAZ, CNBC Bajar and IndiaBonds, has announced the launch of ‘Bond Street’, a new initiative aimed at demystifying India’s fast-expanding bond market and making it more accessible to everyday investors.

The digital-first programme will deliver structured, high-frequency updates that simplify key trends, market movements and developments shaping the country’s fixed-income ecosystem.

According to a press release issued by the network, the initiative comes at a crucial time for India’s fixed-income landscape, which now stands at nearly USD 2.81 trillion (SEBI, CCIL — as of September 30, 2025). Despite the scale and momentum of the market, corporate bonds continue to receive limited mainstream coverage compared with equities.

‘Bond Street’ has been designed to address this gap by offering consistent, educational insights into credit rating actions, issuer activities, market flows, and regulatory or technological shifts that influence the fixed-income space.

The new platform will feature daily coverage on CNBC-TV18, CNBC AWAAZ and CNBC Bajar, presenting essential market movements in an easily digestible format. These will be supplemented with weekly deep-dive analyses that bring in expert commentary, trend assessments and contextual understanding of India’s evolving bond market.

The effort aims to not only simplify fixed-income instruments for new investors but also strengthen CNBC-TV18’s position as a key destination for bond-market intelligence, supported by IndiaBonds’ domain expertise.

S. Shivakumar, CEO – News18 Studio, said the initiative reflects the network’s ongoing commitment to delivering credible and comprehensive financial news. “Bond Street represents our continued commitment to delivering comprehensive and credible financial coverage. The bond market is becoming integral to India’s capital formation and investment behaviour. This initiative will ensure that audiences have access to timely, structured information on a segment that is increasingly shaping how Indians save and invest,” he said.

Vishal Goenka, Co-Founder of IndiaBonds, described the collaboration as a timely step for a market witnessing rapid structural evolution. “India’s bond market is evolving at a significant pace, shaped by enhanced transparency, technological advancements and rising retail participation. Our collaboration with CNBC-TV18 enables us to extend this progress to a wider audience. Bond Street will support investors in recognising the role of bonds as a fundamental component of long-term portfolio planning,” he said.

With Bond Street, CNBC-TV18 and IndiaBonds aim to bring India’s bond market into sharper focus within the national financial narrative, encouraging greater awareness and fostering a more informed investment culture across the country.
