The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is planning to initiate variable rate reverse repo (VRRR) operations to manage surplus liquidity in banks, following its shift to a neutral policy stance. This move aims to stabilize short-term rates within the liquidity adjustment facility corridor. Economists believe restarting VRRR operations would help maintain market integrity. While no final decision is made, these operations could temporarily underscore the RBI's neutral stance until satisfactory rate transmission and a nearing end of the rate cut cycle.

the MPC meeting, several factors were considered that led to the change in policy stance: 1. Economic slowdown: The Indian economy has been facing a slowdown, with GDP growth falling to its lowest level in recent years. The rate cut is expected to provide a boost to the economy and revive growth. 2. Inflation outlook: The inflation rate has remained well within the RBI's target range, providing room for a rate cut. Lower interest rates can help stimulate consumption and investment, driving inflation higher. 3. Global factors: Weak global growth and uncertainty due to trade tensions have also influenced the decision. The RBI believes that a rate cut could help counter potential external risks and support domestic demand. 4. Liquidity conditions: The banking system has been facing liquidity constraints, which have impacted credit flow in the economy. The rate cut is expected to improve liquidity conditions and make credit more easily available. 5. Policy transmission: Despite previous rate cuts, the benefits were not fully passed on to borrowers. The RBI expects that a change in policy stance will encourage banks to transmit the rate cut to borrowers more effectively. 6. Market expectations: Market participants were anticipating a rate cut, and the change in policy stance aligns with these expectations. This move is seen as a positive signal for the stock markets and investor sentiment.
