Investors urge India to cut 30+ year bond supply as tepid demand raises yields, with insurers and pension funds slowing investments.

• Long-bond yields rise 15 bps vs. 10-year decline, widening yield gap to 80 bps, a four-year high.
• Insurance firms and pension funds, key buyers, face low inflows, straining absorption of ultra-long bond supply.
• Central bank buys short-term bonds (7 years), but market wary of duration risk in long-term auctions.
