  "account": "Bloomberg Index Services Ltd has decided to postpone adding India's debt to its global aggregate bond index, according to a statement from the index provider. The delay was prompted by investors requesting more time before making a decision on the inclusion. The Indian government has recently taken steps to improve market access and remove taxes for foreign investors in government bonds, which could have contributed to the index provider's cautious approach. Bloomberg LP, which operates BISL, will continue to engage with market participants and provide an update as the review progresses. Even as automated trading capabilities in India's bond market expand, some respondents noted that implementation has not been completed across all major investor regions. They also indicated a desire for further evidence that recent market reforms translate into more efficient operational workflows, such as improvements to account opening and processes for adding foreign investors. Indian bonds are expected to sell off on Monday due to disappointment over the development, with traders predicting a selloff of around 5-10 basis points. The benchmark 10-year yields closed three basis points higher at 6.84 percent on Friday, up nine basis points in July after falling to the lowest level in six years in the previous month. Despite the delay, the Indian government bond market is making meaningful progress toward meeting the standards expected for inclusion. BISL believes additional time is warranted for these developments to become more firmly established in day-to-day market practice before making a final decision.",
