RBI withdraws over ₹6 trillion of bank liquidity after record spike
The RBI drained over ₹6 trillion from banks on Monday through two auctions. This came after banking liquidity hit a record high of ₹11.6 trillion. The central bank received ₹3.53 trillion overnight and ₹2.59 trillion in a 30-day auction. The move soaks up extra cash to check inflation and asset bubbles. Business owners should keep an eye on interest rate signals, as rate hikes may follow.
