Executive Summary
RBI is demonstrating heightened vigilance in liquidity management through a series of Variable Rate Repo (VRR) auctions, including a second overnight auction on December 23 and a 2-day auction on December 24, 2025, complemented by December 22 money market operations and broader liquidity measures. This cluster of actions across filings reveals a pattern of proactive interventions amid evolving liquidity conditions, maintaining neutral sentiment and averting short-term rate volatility.
