New SEBI ESG Debt Guidelines Raise the Bar—But Do Mid-Sized Companies Have a Ladder?

SEBI’s latest circular calls for continuous monitoring and third-party verification of ESG-labeled bonds to tackle greenwashing and align capital markets with real sustainability outcomes.

But as the article in Mint points out, these new requirements—while essential—pose a challenge for mid-sized issuers. Limited internal ESG expertise, fragmented data systems, and the cost of compliance may exclude credible but capacity-constrained firms from accessing ESG debt markets.
