The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has revived its daily variable rate repo (VRR) auctions — previously replaced with a 14-day liquidity cycle by previous Governor Urjit Patel — due to what it calls “evolving liquidity conditions”.
The auctions will take place on all working days in Mumbai, with the reversal taking place the following day. The first auction took place on 16 January, in the amount of 500 billion rupees (US$5.78 billion).
The auction amounts will be decided by the Reserve Bank based on an assessment of current liquidity conditions.
The news comes ahead of the Bank’s interest rate decision on 7 February.
