RBI to Conduct Rs 20,000 Crore Government Bond Buyback Auction on July 28
The Reserve Bank of India will conduct a buyback auction on July 28 to repurchase government securities worth up to Rs 20,000 crore. The buyback covers four bonds maturing in 2026 and 2027, including the 7.33%, 5.74%, and 8.15% GS 2026, and the 8.24% GS 2027. The auction will use a multiple-price method, with no specific amounts allocated per security. This move aims to smooth the government's debt redemption profile and manage liquidity amid narrowing banking system surplus.
