Auction Plan for Liquidity Management

According to the press release from the Reserve Bank of India, this auction is being conducted under the Liquidity Adjustment Facility on Tuesday, June 23, 2026. The auction window will be open from 9:30 AM to 10:00 AM, and the tenure will be 7 days.

The central bank has notified an amount of ₹2,00,000 crore. The reversal of funds under this operation is scheduled for Tuesday, June 30, 2026.

Operational Framework and Market Impact

The operational guidelines for the auction remain the same as those provided in the Reserve Bank’s press release 2021-2022/1572 dated January 20, 2022. The current arrangement indicates that the central bank is utilizing the established framework to adjust short-term systemic liquidity.

Such VRR auctions for the banking system can influence short-term funding conditions and support the functioning of money market rates. Amid changing liquidity conditions, this step underscores the importance of the central bank’s daily cash management tools.
