RBI Conducts Second OMO Sale of Rs 25,000 Crore to Absorb Banking Liquidity
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) accepted bids worth Rs 25,000 crore in the second tranche of its open market operation (OMO) sale of government securities to absorb surplus liquidity from the banking system. The RBI accepted bids across five securities but rejected bids for one bond. This move is part of a planned Rs 1 lakh crore OMO sale in three tranches to manage liquidity, which has surged due to foreign currency deposits and government spending. The final tranche is scheduled for September 28.
