RBI to Hold Rs 25,000 Crore Overnight Variable Rate Repo Auction on July 8
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will conduct an overnight variable rate repo (VRR) auction of Rs 25,000 crore on July 8, with funds reverting on July 9. This move follows a muted response to a prior Rs 50,000 crore auction due to surplus liquidity of around Rs 1.19 lakh crore in the banking system. Since June, the RBI has infused over Rs 6 lakh crore through various VRR auctions to manage liquidity conditions.
