In summary, the auction demonstrated robust demand across most states, with full subscription for the majority of issues, cut‑off yields ranging from 7.55% to 8.20%, and a total acceptance short of the target by about ₹1,383.6 crore, primarily due to the lack of bids for Andhra Pradesh and partial subscription for Punjab.
