In India they typically yield 7.5–9%, modestly above government securities of similar tenure. Interest-rate and liquidity risks still apply.
AAA is the highest credit rating assigned to bonds by SEBI-registered agencies like CRISIL, ICRA, CARE, and India Ratings. Bonds with AAA rating carry the lowest default risk among corporate bonds.

What is the typical yield on AAA rated bonds in India?
AAA rated corporate bonds in India typically offer yields between 7.5% to 9% depending on the tenure and issuer. These yields are generally 1-2% higher than government bonds of similar maturity, compensating for the slightly higher credit risk.
Are AAA rated bonds risk-free?
