A report suggests the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) may conduct more open market operations in early 2026 to manage liquidity, aiming to keep it within 1.25-1.75% of net demand and time liabilities. Following a December 2025 rate cut, the RBI is expected to maintain an extended pause on interest rates. Analysts anticipate a stable rate cycle, liquidity normalization, and potential inclusion of certain government bonds in global indices could flatten the yield curve in 2026.
