India Monetary Policy RBI MPC Decisions — April 10, 2026
RBI's latest data reveals mixed liquidity dynamics with foreign reserves declining ₹29,892 Cr WoW and ₹63,008 Cr vs end-March 2025 (yet up ₹725,951 Cr YoY), scheduled commercial banks' deposits down 0.7% fortnight-over-fortnight but up 10.8% YoY, and bank credit up 0.1% FoF/13.8% YoY, signaling short-term pressures amid robust annual growth; M3 contracted 0.3% FoF but expanded 10.7% YoY. Corporate filings highlight positive consolidation in healthcare (Apollo Hospitals reaching 100% in subsidiary and NCLT approval for demerger scheme) and realty (L&T acquiring IGSL for ₹1,123 Cr by Apr 15), alongside rating upgrades for Sammaan Capital (AA+/Stable) and Adani Enterprises (ESG 1+). Money market shows tight liquidity with net absorption of ₹4,55,354 Cr on Apr 9, high overnight volumes at 4.77%, and VRRR auction at 5.24% cut-off. Insider divestment in Delhivery (funds sold 24M shares, holdings down to 3.55%) contrasts bullish M&A. Portfolio-level theme: Strong YoY banking metrics support rate stability, but WoW declines and liquidity ops flag monitoring for policy shifts; upcoming catalysts like Maruti board meeting (Apr 28) and L&T deal close offer alpha.
