Bond boost ahead: RBI to reissue Rs 27,000 crore in securities, 2029 and 2054 maturities part of Centre's borrowing plan
In a move aimed at managing the Centre's market borrowings, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Monday announced the reissue of government securities worth Rs 27,000 crore in two separate tranches.
The auction is scheduled for June 20.
According to a notification from the Finance Ministry, the RBI will reissue Rs 15,000 crore of the 6.75 per cent Government Security (GS) maturing in 2029, and Rs 12,000 crore of the 7.09 per cent GS maturing in 2054, ANI reported. In addition, the Centre has retained the option to accept up to Rs 2,000 crore in oversubscriptions across both securities.
A reissue allows the RBI to sell additional units of an existing bond instead of launching a new one, helping maintain liquidity in the bond market.
The proceeds from this auction will be part of the government's planned market borrowings.
The RBI will conduct the auction via its E-Kuber system. Non-competitive bids will be accepted from 10:30 am to 11:00 am, followed by competitive bids from 10:30 am to 11:30 am. Results will be announced the same day on the RBI's website. Payment by successful bidders is due on June 23, the designated date of reissue.
The interest on the bonds will be paid semi-annually, calculated from either the date of original issuance or the last coupon date. Both securities will be redeemed at face value on maturity.
Earlier in June, the RBI had also reissued two dated government securities worth Rs 32,000 crore, comprising Rs 16,000 crore each of the 6.92 per cent GS maturing in November 2039 and the 6.90 per cent GS due in April 2065.

Infra push on track: Railways opens largest auto cargo terminal at Manesar, Vaishnaw announces new MEMU and Amrit Bharat rollouts
Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Tuesday inaugurated India's largest Gati Shakti Multi-Modal Cargo Terminal for automobiles at Maruti Suzuki's Manesar plant, calling it a key step in boosting logistics efficiency for the sector. The new terminal, connected to Patli railway station via a 10-km dedicated rail link, is part of the 121.7-km Haryana Orbital Rail Corridor being developed by the Haryana Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation (HRIDC). According to the Railway Ministry, the project involved an investment of Rs 800 crore, with HRIDC contributing Rs 684 crore and the remaining amount funded by Maruti Suzuki. The Manesar terminal has a loading capacity of 4.5 lakh automobiles per year, among the highest in the country. Vaishnaw, addressing the inauguration, said Indian Railways has seen strong momentum in capacity building across both freight and passenger services, PTI reported. 'In the last two and a half years, a focused campaign has been launched to increase the number of general coaches. Over 1,200 general coaches were added just in the past year,' he said. He announced that over 100 MEMU (Mainline Electric Multiple Unit) trains will be upgraded to longer configurations — from 8–12 coaches to 16–20 coaches — to improve capacity for short-distance commuters. A new MEMU factory has been set up in Kazipet, Andhra Pradesh, for this purpose. On the rollout of Namo Bharat trains, he said 50 new trains will be produced to meet rising passenger demand. The minister highlighted that in FY 2023–24, Indian Railways carried 720 crore passengers and 1,617 million tonnes of freight, achieving the second-highest freight volume globally. He also detailed reforms in the Tatkal booking system set to begin July 1, 2025. For the first 30 minutes of the Tatkal window, bookings will be restricted to Aadhaar-authenticated and KYC-verified users, aimed at curbing misuse and improving access for genuine passengers. Vaishnaw mentioned a pilot project in the Bikaner Division, where passenger reservation charts are now being prepared 24 hours in advance instead of 4 hours before departure, as per the current norm. Speaking on the new Amrit Bharat Trains, he said three are already operational with strong public response. 'Six more will be launched soon, and 50 additional trains are under production,' he said. He added that the Railway Coach Factory in Sonipat is undergoing modernisation and will be inaugurated soon, playing a key role in expanding India's coach production capacity.

Tech billionaire Mark Cuban thinks Donald Trump phone could be all about …
Tech billionaire Mark Cuban has predicted that the newly launched Trump-branded smartphone 's primary purpose may not be the device itself, but rather a strategic way to generate revenue through cryptocurrency. Replying to a post on social media platform X (earlier Twitter) about the newly announced Trump-branded phones, the billionaire investor proposed that the $499 "T1" phone may likely feature a pre-loaded crypto wallet. Cuban also suggested that this wallet may integrate entities like World Liberty Financial (WLF - a crypto company that's connected to the Trump family) and the Trump coin, along with their stablecoins. Cuban believes that 'whatever transactions they can create will generate fees for them,' highlighting different ways to facilitate sales and preload assets onto the device to generate income. This comes after US President's sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, unveiled the Trump Phone this week. What Mark Cuban said about the Trump 'T1' phone by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo This all started with a post shared by Cuban on X, which included a video of Eric Trump introducing Trump Mobile. Sharing this video, Cuban wrote: 'I just want to know who makes them and where.' Replying to this post, a user named Gary Koepnick said: 'I'll never understand how 25% of the population can't see him for what he is.' Further responding to Koepnick's comments, Cuban wrote: 'I think the smart game they are probably playing is to put a crypto wallet on the phone that leverages WLF, $Trump and their stable coins. Whatever transactions they can create generate fees for them, and there are so many ways to sell things and pre-load whatever they want.' However, it's important to note that there is no mention on the Trump Mobile website of cryptos. If Mark Cuban's theory proves accurate, the Trump phone could serve as a gateway to a Trump-branded Web3 ecosystem, potentially preloaded with digital wallets, assets, and features enabling blockchain transactions. In an interview with Fox Business, Eric Trump said that the T1 device would 'revolutionise cellphones,' while Donald Trump Jr. described it as a 'true value' alternative to mainstream carriers, made in America, during a press conference in New York City. Trump Jr. also stated that the venture aims to offer more than just wireless coverage and a smartphone — it will include services like telemedicine and roadside assistance.
