RBI announces underwriting auction results for two government securities
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 14 (ANI): The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Thursday announced the results of the underwriting auction conducted for Additional Competitive Underwriting (ACU) of two Government of India securities, setting cut-off commission rates for primary dealers. According to the central bank, the auction was held on August 14, 2025, for the 6.01 per cent Government Security (GS) 2030 and a new Government Security maturing in 2055. The ACU process allows primary dealers to competitively bid for the right to underwrite additional portions of the notified amount of government bonds, over and above their minimum underwriting commitments. For the 6.01 per cent GS 2030, the notified amount was Rs 15,000 crore. The minimum underwriting commitment (MUC) stood at Rs 7,518 crore, with the remaining Rs 7,482 crore accepted under ACU. The total amount underwritten was thus Rs 15,000 crore. The cut-off commission rate for the ACU portion was set at 0.40 paise per Rs 100. In the case of the new GS 2055, the notified amount was Rs 13,000 crore. The MUC was Rs 6,510 crore, while the ACU amount accepted was Rs 6,490 crore, taking the total amount underwritten to Rs 13,000 crore. The ACU commission cut-off rate here was higher, at 0.78 paise per Rs 100. The RBI said that the actual auction for the sale of these securities would also be held on August 14, 2025, subsequent to the completion of the underwriting process. Underwriting of government securities is a critical function performed by primary dealers to ensure smooth borrowing operations by the government. In this system, primary dealers commit to subscribing to unsold portions of government bond issuances, thereby providing an assurance of full subscription. The ACU mechanism allows the government to allocate additional underwriting amounts through a competitive bidding process, where the commission rate is determined based on market demand. The RBI's announcement comes as part of its routine government securities issuance calendar, which is a key instrument for managing the fiscal requirements of the government and influencing liquidity in the financial system. Primary dealers, a select set of financial institutions authorised by the RBI, play an essential role in underwriting and distributing these securities in the secondary market.

BPIA seeks nods to decommission old ATC tower
Bhubaneswar: Biju Patnaik International Airport authorities have recently sought DGCA clearance to decommission its old air traffic control (ATC) tower, which served as a backup for six months after a new facility became operational in 2023. "Once DGCA grants permission for decommissioning, we may decide to dismantle the tower and repurpose the space. However, we still need a backup facility for the new ATC, and we are considering using the anti-hijacking building for that," said airport director Prasanna Pradhan. All rooms in the old ATC tower are now vacant, with equipment, electrical systems, and communication and navigation machines shifted to the new tower. "A DGCA team may inspect the old tower before deciding on decommissioning. Based on future plans and possible privatisation, a final decision will be taken," a senior airport officer said. The new ATC tower, commissioned with approval from DGCA and Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), is equipped with BEL-made systems. Its automation platform, developed indigenously under the Make in India initiative, features advanced technology to streamline air traffic control, reduce workload for ATC officers, increase capacity, and minimise delays. "The ATC has seen a rise in air traffic, particularly since night and international operations began. The airport is also a preferred diversion point for flights from neighbouring airports during bad weather. In light of these challenges, the new ATC is performing well in meeting growing demands," Pradhan said. The old tower stands 23.46 metres tall, compared to the new tower's 44.2 metres. Unlike its successor, the old facility lacked full automation for air and ground handling. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
