Outcomes of the Variable Rate Reverse Repo Auction
On August 17, 2026, the Reserve Bank of India completed a 7-day Variable Rate Reverse Repo (VRRR) auction, which was part of its ongoing liquidity management strategy. The notified amount for this auction was ₹2,00,000 crore, with total offers received amounting to ₹98,945 crore.
All received offers were accepted at the cut-off rate of 5.24%, which also reflects the weighted average rate for the auction. This indicates a robust demand for liquidity at this rate, as participants engaged fully within the parameters set by the RBI.
