Good to see smaller states like Mizoram also participating. The yields around 7.3% seem reasonable given current market conditions. RBI managing this smoothly as always.

Gujarat getting funds at 7.06% - the lowest among all states. This reflects investor confidence in Gujarat's fiscal management and growth potential. Well done! 💪

While the auction success is positive, I'm concerned about the increasing debt burden on states. Maharashtra alone taking ₹5000 crore - hope there's proper utilization tracking.

Interesting to see J&K raising funds at 7.39% - slightly higher than others but understandable given the region's specific challenges. Good that they're accessing capital markets.

The strong investor demand across tenors shows confidence in India's state finances. This is crucial for funding infrastructure that drives economic growth nationwide.
