MUMBAI (Reuters) - The Reserve Bank of India has extended bond market trading by half hour to 05:30 p.m. (1200 GMT) for Tuesday, four traders said.
There was no reason given for the extension traders said, although the dealers attributed the reason to a delay in announcing the full results of the state loan auction conducted earlier in the day.
The benchmark 10-year bond yield was trading at 7.77 percent by 1140 GMT, down 4 basis points on the day.
