The debt auction quota gives overseas investors the right to invest in the debt up to the limit purchased. “Live bidding session for allocation of debt investment limits (worth Rs3,930 crore) for FII/FPI/ sub-accounts shall be conducted on 27 November 2017 on exchange’s ‘ebidxchange’ platform,” BSE said. Earlier this month, the government bond had attracted bids to the tune of Rs3,666 crore from foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in an auction of investment limits for such securities, much higher than Rs2,169 crore that was on offer.
