March 25, 2026 : The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Wednesday infused ₹55,837 crore into the banking system through a three-day Variable Rate Repo (VRR) auction, aiming to manage short-term liquidity conditions. The funds were injected at a cut-off and weighted average rate of 5.26 per cent.

Notably, the amount allotted fell short of the notified ₹1 lakh crore, even as surplus liquidity in the system has declined due to advance tax outflows.

In recent days, the central bank has stepped up liquidity support measures, injecting over ₹2.08 lakh crore through short-term VRR auctions. Additionally, since January this year, the RBI has infused ₹3.5 lakh crore of durable liquidity through open market operations (OMO), reinforcing its efforts to maintain adequate liquidity in the financial system.
