Mumbai, Jan. 29 -- The comfortable liquidity conditions seen at the beginning of Q3-FY26, on account of RBI's pre-emptive liquidity infusion via 75 bps of CRR reduction phased over October-November, reversed from mid-December due to heavy currency market interventions, tax outflows and credit offtake amid sluggish deposit growth. The Weighted Average Call Rate (WACR) moved closer to the higher boundary of the policy rate corridor i.e., the MSF rate from mid-December despite RBI's substantial durable liquidity injection through OMO G-Sec purchases and long-term USD/INR Buy Sell swaps.
