The Centre on Friday borrowed and transferred Rs 6,000 crore as the first tranche to 16 states and two UTs, including Haryana and Himachal Pradesh.

The borrowing is at an interest rate of 5.19 per cent and the tenor of borrowing is expected to be broadly in the range of three to five years, stated an official news release.
