Recent government actions highlight a focus on fiscal policy and debt management. The government is actively underwriting auctions of government securities, totaling ₹32,000 crore and ₹28,000 crore, alongside a ₹24,800 crore auction of State Government Securities, demonstrating ongoing efforts to manage its borrowing program.
