Sticking to the FY18 borrowing target, government in consultation of the Reserve Bank of India have finalised the borrowing calendar for the fiscal year at its Budgeted level. The Centre plans to borrow Rs 2.08 lakh crore from the market in the second half of 2017-18, reiterating the commitment to meet the fiscal deficit target of 3.2 per cent of the gross domestic product (GDP).

The government borrowed Rs 3.72 lakh crore in the first half and has pegged gross borrowings at Rs 2.08 lakh crore in the remaining six months of the financial year-ending 31 March. The net borrowing in the October-March period has been pegged at Rs 1.92 lakh crore. Major part of the borrowing would be in the next three months and early January and will leave the smaller part for the rest of January and February- March.

Secretary, Department of Economic Affairs (DEA), Subhash Chandra Garg said that assessment of additional borrowing requirement, if any, would be made in December. He said that 'If there is any need, which we don't foresee at any point of time, but if there is any need, then we may'. The Secretary also informed that Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) capital expenditure of more than Rs 3.85 lakh crore is moving as per the plan. He also said that public sector bodies like NHAI would be making an additional spending of RS 25,000 crore.
