RBI Injects Rs 1 Lakh Crore in First Liquidity Infusion After Three Months
The Reserve Bank of India conducted its first liquidity infusion in over three months, injecting Rs 1 lakh crore through a seven-day variable rate repo auction amid tightening liquidity conditions. This move followed a rise in overnight borrowing rates near the upper limit of the monetary policy corridor and coincided with a large tax outflow and increased cash reserve requirements. The operation attracted bids exceeding Rs 1.5 lakh crore, reflecting banks' demand for funds ahead of the festive season and efforts to stabilize short-term interest rates.
