The auctions will be conducted using multiple price method, the Reserve Bank said in a statement. The stocks will qualify for the ready forward facility.
"Up to 5 per cent of the notified amount of the sale of the stocks will be allotted to eligible individuals and institutions as per the Scheme for Non-Competitive Bidding Facility in the Auction of Government Securities," RBI said.
Rating agency Ind-Ra said the government's upcoming repurchase auction (Rs 150 billion) will alleviate some pressure on demand-supply dynamics in the debt market - as a combined gross supply of over Rs 1,000 crore is scheduled this week in the form of both central and state government borrowings.
"Incremental scope for yields to soften significantly from the current juncture is limited on account of two major factors -- front-loaded open market operations by the Reserve Bank of India and global volatility as key events unfold," the agency said.
Ind-Ra further said the 10-year G-sec yield could trade at 6.78-6.89 per cent (6.82 per cent at close on November 4).
According to it, the rupee is likely to trade at 66.50/USD-67.30/USD.
