To further ease liquidity in the financial system, the Reserve Bank of India has announced a fresh capital injection through dated government securities. This move supports its broader strategy of maintaining monetary stability and ensuring the smooth functioning of financial markets.
The Reserve Bank of India is poised to inject another ₹36,000 crore into the financial system through the re-issuance of 2 dated government securities. The auction for these securities is scheduled for Friday and will be conducted by the RBI’s Mumbai Office.
According to the RBI, the government retains the vital option to absorb additional subscriptions of up to ₹2,000 crore against each security. This could potentially increase the total liquidity infusion and further strengthen the financial system.
The first Government Security's notified amount is worth ₹6,000 crore, with the repayment date set for 9 December 2027. The second security, with a notified amount of ₹30,000 crore, will mature on 5 May 2035.
The sale will strictly adhere to the terms and conditions outlined in the notifications issued on 26 March. The auction will utilise the multiple price method, accommodating both competitive and non-competitive bids from a range of market participants.
All bids must be submitted electronically via the Reserve Bank of India Core Banking Solution (e-Kuber system) on Friday. Non-competitive bids are to be submitted between 10:30 AM and 11 AM, while competitive bids can be placed between 10:30 AM and 11:30 AM.
Primary Dealers interested in underwriting the Additional Competitive Underwriting portion may submit bids via the e-Kuber system between 9 AM and 9:30 AM. The results will be declared on the same day, with payments due by 2 June. These stocks will be eligible for “When Issued” trading from Tuesday through Friday.
