Mar-30-2026

The finance ministry has said that the Centre is planning to mobilise Rs 8.20 lakh crore through issuance of dated securities, including Rs 15,000 crore of Sovereign Green Bonds (SGrBs) during the April-September period of 2026-27 (H1FY27) to fund the revenue gap. 

The ministry said this amount represents 51% of the government's revised borrowing target for FY27. It said gross market borrowings in Budget Estimate (BE) 2026-27 were Rs 17.20 lakh crore. Since the Budget presentation, switches of G-Sec were conducted, reducing gross market borrowing to Rs 16.09 lakh crore for FY27.

It said the gross market borrowings of Rs 8.20 lakh crore shall be completed through 26 weekly auctions. The market borrowing will be spread over 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 30, 40 and 50 year securities. The share of borrowing (including SGrBs) under different maturities will be: 3-year (8.1%), 5-year (15.4%), 7-year (8.1%), 10-year (29.0%), 15-year (14.5%), 30-year (7.3%), 40-year (8.0%) and 50-year (9.6%). 

The government will carry out switching/buyback of securities to smoothen the redemption profile. It will continue to reserve the right to exercise green-shoe option to retain an additional subscription of up to Rs 2,000 crore against each of the securities indicated in the auction notifications.
