RBI Absorbs Rs 3.93 Lakh Crore via VRRR Auction Amid Surplus Liquidity
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) absorbed Rs 3.93 lakh crore through a variable rate reverse repo (VRRR) auction amid a surplus liquidity estimated at Rs 10.73 lakh crore as of September 11. This liquidity surplus largely stems from foreign currency non-resident (FCNR-B) deposits and government expenditures. To manage this, RBI is conducting VRRR auctions and announced Open Market Operation (OMO) sales totaling Rs 1 lakh crore in three tranches starting September 17. Economists note that a durable liquidity surplus of around Rs 4 trillion may persist beyond March 2027, requiring a mix of tools to manage without disrupting bond markets.
