RBI Sells Rs 50,000 Crore Bonds in OMO to Absorb Surplus Liquidity
The Reserve Bank of India conducted its first open market operation (OMO) sale in nine years, selling government securities worth Rs 50,000 crore to absorb surplus liquidity from the banking system. The bonds, maturing between 2029 and 2032, were sold at yields slightly above market expectations amid strong investor demand. This sale is the first tranche of a planned Rs 1 trillion liquidity mop-up, with two more tranches scheduled later in September. The move addresses a record liquidity surplus driven by foreign currency inflows and aims to support monetary policy transmission ahead of the October review.
