RBI to Conduct 7-Day Variable Rate Reverse Repo Auction

August 16, 2026

The RBI will hold a Variable Rate Reverse Repo (VRRR) auction on August 17, 2026, totaling ₹2,00,000 crore to manage liquidity.

Variable Rate Reverse Repo Auction Announced

The Reserve Bank of India has resolved to conduct a 7-day Variable Rate Reverse Repo (VRRR) auction on August 17, 2026. The auction is set for ₹2,00,000 crore and aims to address the evolving liquidity conditions across the financial sector.

The auction will take place between 9:30 AM and 10:00 AM, with expected reversals scheduled for August 24, 2026. This strategic move is a part of the RBI's liquidity management framework, which allows banks to optimize their excess funds temporarily.
