RBI Injects Rs 1.41 Trillion to Address Banking System Liquidity Deficit
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) injected Rs 1.41 trillion into the banking system through a seven-day variable rate repo (VRR) auction to address a liquidity deficit of nearly Rs 20,000 crore on June 22. This deficit followed a surplus the previous day and was mainly caused by advance tax and GST outflows. The liquidity tightening pushed overnight money market rates above the RBI's repo rate. The RBI has been conducting VRR operations recently to ease transient liquidity pressures and maintain market stability.
