The weekly auction would range between Rs 29,000 crore and Rs 35,000 crore, the finance ministry said in a statement.

This amount is Rs 10,000 crore lower than Rs 3.94 lakh crore raised during the same quarter of the previous financial year. The government had issued an auction calendar for government bonds worth Rs 2.47 lakh crore for the third quarter of the current financial year ending December 31, 2025.

The government, in consultation with the Reserve Bank of India, will have the flexibility to adjust the declared amount and timing for the auction of government securities, depending on requirements, changing market conditions and other relevant factors, after giving prior notice to the market, the statement said.

The calendar can therefore be changed if circumstances warrant, including for reasons such as intervening holidays, the report said.
