RBI’s Extended Trading Hours Boost Call Money Market Share Above 3%

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) extended the trading hours for the call money market from July 1, allowing trades until 7 PM. This led to the share of call money in the total money market volume rising above 3% in recent days. Despite low returns and surplus liquidity, banks are showing more interest in parking funds in the call money market due to the longer trading window.
