OMO SALES
There's no real reason and hurry for RBI to cut rates: Neeraj Gambhir, Axis Bank
Now with the higher capital charge, the cost of funding from banks will go up and probably to some extent, there will be a volume impact as well. NBFCs were anyway borrowing from the bond market - at least the AAA- and AA-rated NBFCs. The bond market has seen the exit of a large borrower, which has created space for more NBFCs and for investors to diversify their exposure.
We expect first rate cut from August onwards; RBI likely to remain hawkish tomorrow: Aurodeep Nandi, Nomura
“I really do not think that the governor would give a dovish bias to any of this. He would like to remain hawkish. He would like to say that I am still looking at tight liquidity. And to a great extent, it would be continuing with the kind of hawkishness that we have seen in the past couple of meetings despite a pause in rates.”
RBI could defer OMO sales with liquidity deficit at over 4-year highs
"Pressure to carry out OMO sales has definitely come down significantly because liquidity conditions have stayed tight and more significantly it is the fall in core liquidity surplus that has played a prominent role in keeping liquidity conditions tight," said Abhishek Upadhyay, senior economist at ICICI Securities Primary Dealership.

RBI adds new weapon as Indian markets gear up for billions in index inflows

Aligning market realities with policy goals
The RBI, since the beginning of the tightening cycle in May 2022, has been talking about focusing on the withdrawal of accommodation. Nearly 17 months later, the situation is hardly what the RBI wanted: By September-end, core liquidity was ₹2.8 lakh crore and that is set to rise to ₹3.3 lakh crore with the total withdrawal of the Incremental Cash Reserve Ratio
India 10-year bond yield sees biggest rise in 14 months on RBI’s OMO sales plan
“The timing and quantum of such operations will depend on the evolving liquidity conditions,” Das said. In the last policy meeting, RBI imposed an incremental cash reserve ratio (I-CRR) of 10%, which impounded about Rs 1.1 lakh crore from the banking system. The I-CRR was reviewed on September 8 and the central bank decided to discontinue the same in a phased manner, ending on October 7.
Liquidity will come back but RBI will keep it in deficit for the time being: Jayesh Mehta
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is expected to keep overnight rates more towards the Marginal Standing Facility (MSS) rather than the repo rate. The liquidity situation is expected to improve, although there may be some reduction due to the festive season. The RBI is likely to maintain a deficit for the time being and monitor inflation. The market was surprised by the announcement of OMO sales and the recreation of a 4% target.

Profit sales from gilt HTM books at OMOs not helping RBI as levels get skewed: BofA's Mehta
