RBI to Inject ₹1 Lakh Crore via OMOs and Conduct $10 Billion Forex Swap

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has announced significant liquidity measures to address the ongoing liquidity crunch in the banking sector. Here are the key details:

Open Market Operations (OMOs):
The RBI will conduct two OMO purchase auctions of Government of India securities, injecting ₹1 lakh crore into the banking system.

₹50,000 crore will be infused on March 12, 2025.

Another ₹50,000 crore will follow on March 18, 2025.

USD/INR Forex Swap:
To further boost liquidity, the RBI will conduct a USD/INR Buy/Sell Swap auction worth $10 billion on March 24, 2025. This swap will have a tenor of 36 months.

These measures come as the Indian banking system faces its worst liquidity deficit in over a decade, with systemic liquidity moving from a surplus in late 2024 to a deficit of ₹1.59 lakh crore by February 2025. The RBI has reiterated its commitment to monitoring market conditions and taking appropriate actions to ensure financial stability.
