RBI Injects Rs 72,300 Crore via VRR Auctions as Banking Liquidity Surplus Narrows
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) injected Rs 72,300 crore into the banking system through two Variable Rate Repo (VRR) auctions to address a sharp decline in surplus liquidity caused by advance tax payments. Surplus liquidity fell from about Rs 1.51 lakh crore on June 15 to around Rs 23,881 crore on June 16. Experts noted that upcoming GST payments may further tighten liquidity, and the RBI may conduct additional VRR auctions to maintain stability and control overnight borrowing rates.
