SEBI Expands Corporate Bond Awareness Programme with Two Learning Videos

The Securities and Exchange Board of India has added two educational videos to its investor awareness programme for the corporate bond market. The latest release is intended to improve public understanding of debt-market products and facilitate informed participation by investors.

The initiative forms part of SEBI’s broader efforts to strengthen India’s corporate bond ecosystem through financial literacy, issuer outreach and engagement with market participants.

Videos Cover Credit Ratings and Bond Pricing Concepts

The newly introduced learning materials focus on two important areas of corporate bond investing. One video explains the role and significance of credit ratings, while the other clarifies the concepts of “clean price” and “dirty price” used in bond transactions.

These subjects are relevant for assessing credit risk, understanding accrued interest and evaluating the quoted and payable prices of corporate bonds before making an investment decision.

Programme Conducted With Market Institutions

The investor awareness programme was organised by SEBI in coordination with Market Infrastructure Institutions and other market intermediaries.

Through the programme, the regulator seeks to make technical information relating to corporate bonds more accessible and improve investors’ understanding of how the debt market operates.

Corporate Bond Video Series Reaches Eight Modules

Following the latest release, SEBI’s corporate bond investor education series now consists of eight videos.

Four videos were initially released during the inaugural programme held on February 4, 2026. Two additional videos were subsequently introduced during an Issuer Outreach Programme conducted in Mumbai on June 12, 2026. The two newly launched videos further expand this educational series.

Availability of Learning Material

The videos are available on the SEBI Investor website under the section titled “Video-Based Learning Modules Bonds.”

The expanded learning series is expected to support better understanding of corporate bond products, improve investor awareness and encourage more informed engagement with India’s debt market.
