India may flag Bloomberg's G-Sec index inclusion delay

India may flag Bloomberg's G-Sec index inclusion delay

India borrows money by selling special savings papers called government bonds, which are known as G-Secs.

A company called Bloomberg keeps a big list of bonds from many countries, called the Global Aggregate Bond Index.

When a country's bonds are on that list, many foreign investors want to buy them.

India recently made it easier and cheaper for foreign investors to buy its bonds.

India wanted Bloomberg to add its bonds to the big list.

But Bloomberg said it needed more time to see if the new rules were working well.

India is not happy about waiting and thinks it already did everything needed.

Adding India to the list could lower India's borrowing costs and help support its currency, the rupee.

So India may talk to Bloomberg to ask for a faster decision.
