Regulatory brief, 10 Oct 2026
RBI Forex and Liquidity Interventions
The Reserve Bank of India has announced major interventions in the foreign exchange and debt markets, including a special dollar window for OMCs and a massive OMO sale.
The RBI has opened a special window to meet the entire daily dollar requirements of public sector oil marketing companies IOCL, HPCL, and BPCL to ease pressures on currency markets. Concurrently, the central bank announced an Open Market Operation (OMO) sale auction of government securities worth Rs 25,000 crore to manage evolving liquidity conditions. Reporters should monitor bond yield movements and banking sector liquidity closely as these measures take effect.

Regulatory Tightening on Forex Risk and Cash Reserves
New RBI circulars introduce strict foreign exchange risk reserves, derivative regulations, and an increased daily minimum CRR maintenance requirement for scheduled banks.
The RBI issued new directives regarding risk management, inter-bank dealings, and foreign exchange risk reserves via circulars A.P. (DIR Series) Nos. 25 and 26. Additionally, the central bank changed the daily minimum Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) maintenance requirement from 90 percent to 99 percent under the RBI Act. These regulatory steps will directly impact treasury operations, bank liquidity management, and foreign exchange trading desks.
