India Monetary Policy RBI MPC Decisions — July 09, 2026
The single filing for July 8, 2026, from the RBI's daily money market operations reveals a tightly managed liquidity environment with net absorption of ₹98,865 crore, signaling the central bank's continued focus on draining excess liquidity while keeping overnight rates anchored near the repo rate. The weighted average call money rate at 5.27% sits within a narrow 5.00-5.50% corridor, indicating effective policy transmission. The SDF absorption of ₹99,812 crore at 5.00% highlights strong demand for the standing facility, reflecting banks' preference for parking surplus funds. The minimal variable rate repo (₹665 crore) and MSF (₹282 crore) operations suggest limited liquidity stress, with the system operating in a modest surplus. This data, while low materiality, reinforces the RBI's neutral-to-tight stance as it balances inflation control with growth support, with no rate change signaled in the immediate term.
