In the clean-energy space, Shell’s sale of Sprng Energy has sparked intense bidding from global investors. Domestic investors, meanwhile, have poured more than Rs 3 lakh crore into Indian equities despite volatility and foreign outflows, while policymakers are exploring reforms to deepen SME access to India’s corporate bond market as bank funding alone is not deemed enough.
