NEW DELHI – The Reserve Bank of India will buy seven government bonds worth INR 500 billion through an open market operation auction Monday, the central bank said Tuesday. The RBI has offered to buy the 7.10%, 2029; the 7.95%, 2032; the 7.73%, 2034; the 7.40%, 2035; the 7.41%, 2036; the 8.30%, 2040; and the 7.09%, 2054 gilts.
The RBI said it will decide later the quantum of individual gilts to be bought at the auction. The central bank also reserves the right to accept bids for less than the aggregate amount, buy marginally higher or lower than the aggregate amount due to rounding off, or accept or reject any or all of the bids wholly or partially without assigning any reason. The auction will be conducted using the multiple price method.
All eligible participants can submit their bids in electronic format on the RBI's core banking solution platform, e-Kuber, between 0930 IST and 1030 IST Monday. Successful participants should ensure the availability of the gilts in their subsidiary general ledger account by 1200 IST Jan. 6, the RBI said.
This is the second tranche of the OMO auctions announced by the RBI on Dec. 23, when the central bank said it would buy INR 2 trillion of gilts across four equal tranches between Dec. 29 and Jan. 22. At Monday's OMO auction, the RBI bought INR 500 billion worth of seven gilts maturing between 2029 and 2053. With this, the central bank's OMO auction purchases in December rose to INR 1.5 trillion, with the total purchases in 2025 at a record INR 7 trillion, including secondary market buys. End
