Bloomberg has introduced a new electronic trading system that allows global investors to buy and sell Indian govt bonds more easily, marking an important step in opening up India’s bond market to the world. The company said it has completed its first fully-electronic trade in Indian govt bonds using this system. The new workflow enables foreign portfolio investors to access bond market liquidity directly through the Bloomberg Terminal, a platform widely used by financial institutions globally.Bloomberg is helping integrate India’s bond market with international financial markets by acting as a bridge between global investors and India’s domestic bond trading system. Its platform connects investors to banks that are buying and selling these bonds, allowing trades to be placed, tracked, executed, and settled in one seamless process. This replaces a more manual and fragmented system, reducing errors and improving speed and efficiency.A key part of this setup is its direct connection to India’s official bond trading platform, the Negotiated Dealing System-Order Matching (NDS-OM), which is operated by Clearcorp, a subsidiary of the Clearing Corporation of India.
