Impact Assessment

This notice is relevant to BSE trading members and direct investors participating in government securities markets. The two securities offered — a re-issue of 6.36% GS 2031 (Rs. 21,000 Cr) and a new GS 2066 (Rs. 11,000 Cr) — represent significant sovereign debt issuance. The non-competitive bidding route allows smaller participants to invest in G-secs without price discovery risk, broadening access to government debt. Impact is limited to debt market participants; no direct equity market impact.

Impact Justification

Routine notification for non-competitive bidding in GoI securities auction; relevant to trading members participating in debt markets but limited broader market impact.
