These are securities created by converting a bond’s periodic coupon payments and the principal into individual l zero-coupon instruments.

For example, a 10-year SDL offering annual interest of Rs 70 and repaying Rs 1,000 in principal at maturity could be split into eleven separate securities - ten interest payments and one principal payment.
