The government will borrow Rs 5.92 trillion, or 41.6 percent of the new FY23 target, in October-March, including from the issuance of its maiden sovereign green bonds of Rs 16,000 crore. Learn Along: Green bonds are fixed-income instruments designed to finance projects that have been specifically earmarked as climate or environment-related.
