Reissued Bonds Constitute Nearly Two-Thirds of State Borrowings in H1 FY27
States have increasingly relied on reissued bonds for market borrowings, with such bonds accounting for nearly 66% of total State Development Loans in the first half of FY27. This marks a significant rise from 8% in FY26 and is the highest share in at least seven years. The Reserve Bank of India has promoted this trend through its Benchmark Issuance Strategy to enhance transparency and liquidity in the state government securities market. Reissuances involve issuing existing bond series rather than new securities.
