On August 25, Reuters reported that India plans to issue its first tokenized bond in September, to be issued by the state-owned Power Finance Corporation REC, with an estimated size of less than 5 billion rupees (approximately $57 million). Indian market regulators and the central bank are jointly promoting the related pilot project, with bond issuance and settlement utilizing blockchain technology. Sources indicate that the product is expected to be launched during the annual fintech conference in Mumbai in September, initially targeting a limited number of investors. Investors will participate through wholesale central bank digital currency (CBDC) wallets and electronic securities wallets. The Indian depository institution is developing an electronic wallet named DEMT 2.0 to record bond holdings via a distributed ledger. The bond will have an initial term of three months, and subsequent trading will be limited to participants holding compatible CBDC and securities wallets. A secondary market for the tokenized bonds is expected to form by December, and they will not be traded on traditional electronic trading platforms.
