magnetizing investor`s interests towards itself in a significant manner. To promote and
to provide a synchronized framework to the debt markets; the regulatory bodies in

price-discovery into the markets. These measures are further attracting and
encouraging the investor communities to divulge into, explore and leverage the
strengths of the fixed income markets. The raised limit for Foreign Investors to invest
their monies in the debt markets will further augment the depth of the debt
markets.
