RBI Bond Buyback Receives Limited Bids Amid Liquidity Deficit and Falling Yields
The Reserve Bank of India's first bond buyback of FY27, offering ₹30,000 crore, received bids totaling ₹7,694 crore, with ₹7,388 crore accepted, despite a banking system liquidity deficit of ₹41,562 crore as of June 28. Banks, anticipating future inflows and favoring short-term papers, largely refrained from participating. Concurrently, the benchmark 10-year government bond yield fell to 6.75%, its lowest since March, influenced by declining oil prices and record overseas portfolio investments in Indian government debt.
