A further Rs1.2 trillion has been repaid early so far in FY2027, the ministry said.
The federal government described the repayments as part of a more active debt-management strategy aimed at reducing outstanding liabilities and future repayment obligations.
The ministry said lower debt obligations could reduce pressure on public finances and create additional fiscal space for the economy.
