RBI’s G-Sec Buyback Results and Market Dynamics

The Reserve Bank of India recently conducted a buyback of government securities (G-Secs), receiving offers totaling ₹17,384.552 crore, but accepting only ₹10,513 crore, despite the notified amount being ₹40,000 crore. Market analysts speculate that banks may have offered G-Secs at higher prices, leading to rejection of offers out of sync with secondary market prices.

Government’s Fiscal Position and Buyback Strategy

The government’s robust financial position, indicated by significant April 2024 GST collections amounting to ₹1.92 lakh crore, along with expected RBI dividend declarations, likely influenced its decision to undertake the G-Sec buyback.

Detailed Auction Results

  • 6.18% GS 2024 Auction: Out of 47 offers totaling ₹28,464.954 crore, RBI accepted 10 offers amounting to ₹437.053 crore at a cut-off price of ₹99.59.
  • 9.15% GS 2024 Auction: Among 20 offers totaling ₹17,384.552 crore, RBI accepted four offers aggregating ₹10,075.940 crore at a cut-off price of ₹101.02.
  • 2025 Paper Auction: The central bank rejected all 23 offers amounting to ₹7,484.473 crore (face value).

The government’s buyback strategy reflects its liquidity position and strategic fiscal management amidst market dynamics.
