All the officials requested anonymity as they are not authorised to speak to the media. Here are a few details: Market analysis indicates that there is a strong call for the government to boost the supply of short-duration bonds. Lenders, benefiting from excess rupee liquidity, are actively seeking viable investment options. In light of a pronounced increase in banking system liquidity surplus, the government is currently reviewing its fiscal second-half borrowing schedule, which is to be revealed later this month. New Delhi has started consultations with market participants for the fiscal second-half borrowing calendar, which will continue through next week. The government aims to borrow a record 16.09 trillion rupees ($170.33 billion) for the current fiscal, including 7.89 trillion rupees from October to March, about 49% of the annual target. The suggestion comes after India's banking system liquidity surplus jumped above 10 trillion rupees for the first time ever, helped by bigger-than-expected dollar inflows. "With such high rupee liquidity from nearly all the major banks and few lending avenues, it makes sense for the government to increase short-end supply and ease pressure on the 10-year," one of the officials said. Supply of shorter duration maturities was at 23.5% of the total borrowing for April-September, up from 16.6% a year earlier. At the same time, ultra-long bonds with maturities of 30 to 50 years accounted for 24.9% of April-September borrowing, down from 35% a year earlier. The borrowing calendar will be announced towards the end of the month, before the central bank's monetary policy decision on October 7.
