Yields on top-rated rupee company notes maturing in three years jumped by 74 foundation factors
Investors withdrew Rs 17,220 crore ($2.5 billion) from the Indian inventory market and firm debt mutual funds in February as issues mounted in regards to the sustainability of returns.

Equity indexes, which profit from a stimulus, surged to a recent file, prompting native traders to guide earnings.
