MUMBAI – Issuances of commercial papers were dominated by non-banking financial companies in the short-term debt market today as they tapped the market to meet their funding requirements and also to roll over papers that are set to mature in the coming days, dealers said.

 

A large issuance by National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development also led to a spike in funds raised through CPs today.

 

So far today, CPs aggregating 72.75 bln rupees have been issued, against 55.00 bln rupees on Tuesday. NABARD raised 32 bln rupees through papers maturing on Jan 31 at 6.86%.

 

The supply of papers by big-ticket issuers was readily absorbed because of their low risk profile.

 

While, CPs issuances by manufacturing companies were lower as they stayed on the sidelines due to low requirement for funds and also a few companies turned to banks for loans for their funding needs, dealers said.

 

Rates on non-banking finance companies CPs rose because of the surge in issuances and also as banking system liquidity is in deficit, dealers said.

 

Rates on three-month CPs issued by non-banking finance companies rose to 7.25-7.45% as against 7.10-7.30% on Tuesday, while rates on papers of manufacturing companies were flat at 6.95-7.15% due to lower issuances.

 

Liquidity in the banking system is currently estimated to be in a deficit of 223.88 bln rupees as against 144.17 bln rupees on Tuesday. The liquidity deficit widened due to outflows on account of goods and service tax payments.

 

Meanwhile, Punjab National Bank was the lone issuer of certificates of deposit today, raising 28.75 bln rupees in total at 7.00% and 6.95% through papers maturing in three months and on Jan 25. The state-owned lender tapped the market for its funding needs and also due to strong growth in credit, dealers said.

 

On Tuesday, CDs worth 26.50 bln rupees were issued.

 

Rates on three-month CDs were quoted at 6.85-7.10%.
