RBI Injects Rs 1.41 Lakh Crore Liquidity via Seven-Day VRR Auction
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) injected Rs 1.41 lakh crore of transient liquidity into the banking system through a seven-day variable rate repo (VRR) auction at a weighted average rate of 5.26% on June 23. This move followed a liquidity deficit of nearly Rs 20,000 crore on June 22, attributed mainly to outflows from goods and services tax (GST) payments. The RBI's intervention aims to ease pressure on overnight money market rates, which had risen above the repo rate, ensuring smooth credit flow and financial stability.
