The Indian government has authorised the Reserve Bank of India to print an initial batch of 2 billion polymer banknotes for field trials, with one billion Rs 10 notes and one billion Rs 20 notes.

The move revives a proposal first announced in 2012 and comes as RBI's note printing expenditure fell nearly 25% to Rs 4,875 crore in 2025-26.
