Government borrowing through the benchmark 10-year bond topped Rs 2 lakh crore, becoming the second such bond series. The current outstanding amount for the 10-year bond stands at Rs 2.01 lakh crore, according to data from the Reserve Bank of India. Last month, the outstanding amount for the bond maturing in 2063 crossed Rs 2 lakh crore and is currently at Rs 2.16 lakh crore. This shows the government's tolerance for borrowing through a particular bond series. The quantum of borrowing set for the current benchmark bond was Rs 1.54 lakh crore, which was breached early last month.
