RBI Records 1 Trillion Rupee Net Debt Sale, Plans Shift to Shorter-Term Bonds
India's Reserve Bank has net sold bonds worth 1 trillion rupees this financial year, marking its largest annual net debt sale in over a decade. Market participants expect this figure to potentially double by December amid efforts to withdraw liquidity from a cash-rich banking system. The RBI is also expected to shift government borrowing towards shorter-tenure bonds in the second half of the fiscal year to manage surplus liquidity. These measures align with anticipated tighter monetary policy, including possible interest rate hikes.
