What happened

This release gives the full detail of the October 19, 2026 state bond auction for each bond: notified amounts, bids received, cut-off yields and what small investors got. States offered ₹24,400 crore and raised ₹23,016 crore.

Examples: Goa received bids of ₹1,165 crore for its ₹200 crore bond and cut off at 8.1004%. Gujarat's 2035 bond got ₹4,705 crore of bids for ₹1,000 crore at 7.9627%. Andhra Pradesh got ₹3,270 crore of bids for its 2051 bond, but accepted none, so it raised nothing.

Small investors who bid non-competitively got bonds at the weighted average price, in full or in part depending on demand.

What it means for you

Retail investors who bid non-competitively received the average rate of each bond. For most people there is no direct effect.
