About the data
What Bond Tape shows
Bond Tape lists corporate bonds and non-convertible debentures (NCDs) traded in India and shows what they last traded at. It is for looking things up only. You cannot buy or sell here, there are no accounts, and nothing on this site is a recommendation.
Where it comes from
NSE and BSE each run an RFQ (request for quote) platform where banks, funds, brokers and other participants trade corporate bonds. Both exchanges publish a daily report of those trades: the bond, the price, the yield and the amount. We collect these reports and combine them, so each bond shows trades from both exchanges.
BSE's figures are RFQ trades throughout. NSE's RFQ-only report covers the current day only, so we have collected it every evening since 26 Oct 2026. For earlier days, NSE figures come from its daily report of all corporate bond trades reported on the exchange, which includes the RFQ trades. Issuer names, coupons and maturities that the trade reports leave out are taken from NSE's published lists of debt securities.
How often it updates
Every weekday evening, around 7:30 pm IST, with a second pass at 11 pm for reports the exchanges publish late. There is no new data on weekends or exchange holidays. The “Data as of” date on the screener is the latest trading day we have. If it falls more than two trading days behind, the screener says so.
What each figure means
- Last yield
- The yield on the most recent day the bond traded: the exchange's value-weighted average of that day's trades. It describes past deals, not a price you can buy or sell at now.
- Last price
- The price of the most recent trade per ₹100 of face value. A price of 98.50 means the bond changed hands at ₹98.50 for every ₹100 it will repay.
- 1W and 4W avg yield
- The average yield of all trades in the 7 or 28 days up to the latest data date, weighted by trade value, so a ₹10 crore trade counts for more than a ₹1 lakh trade.
- Trades (1W)
- How many trades the exchanges reported in the last 7 days. NSE's report has no trade count, so bonds with NSE trades that week show —.
- Value (1W)
- The total value of those trades, in rupees.
- Residual tenure
- Time left until the bond matures, counted from today. “2y 4m” means two years and four months.
- Thin trade
- Shown when the last yield rests on less than ₹5 lakh of trading. Small trades can be done at prices far from where larger investors deal, so treat that yield with caution.
- Yield changes
- On a bond’s page, a rise in yield since the previous trading day is shown in red and a fall in green. A rising yield means the bond’s price fell. The yield itself is never coloured.
- —
- The figure is not available: the exchange did not report it, or the bond did not trade in that period.
Bonds close to maturity
A yield is an annual rate. For a bond that matures in a few weeks, a tiny difference in price turns into a very large or very small annualised yield, which says little about the bond. The screener hides bonds with less than three months left unless you switch on “Include near-maturity bonds”.
Limits of this data
These are past trades between professional participants. Many bonds trade rarely, so the last trade can be weeks old. Credit ratings are not shown yet. Always check the offer document and current quotes before you invest.
