RBI absorbs ₹2.10 trillion in overnight VRRR auctions
In short
The RBI took in Rs 2,10,192 crore from the banking system on Monday through two overnight VRRR auctions. It got bids worth Rs 2,10,688 crore in the first auction and Rs 10,142 crore in the second.
This matters because it pulls extra cash out of banks when liquidity is high. The reporting does not say how long the surplus liquidity will continue.
