The surge was primarily due to higher mobilisation by the private sector. Incidentally, the share of the private sector, currently pegged at 47%, has been rising steadily. Six years ago, the private sector share was 23% in the overall segment. The highest mobilisation through debt private placements in the year was by HDFC (₹44,546 crore) followed by PFC (₹41,115 crore), NHAI (₹33,118 crore) and LIC Housing (₹26,874 crore). In terms of coupon rates, 35% of the total amount raised was in the 7-8% coupon range and 32% of the amount was in the 8-9% per cent coupon range.
