MUMBAI – Rates on short-term debt papers such as certificates of deposit and commercial papers rose today as surplus liquidity in the banking system narrowed, dealers said.

Liquidity in the banking system is currently estimated to be in a surplus of over 742.15 bln rupees as against 1.15 trln rupees on Thursday. The surplus has narrowed due to outflows on account of excise duty payments.

Rates on three-month CDs increased to 6.35-6.55% as against 6.25-6.50% on Thursday.

Rates on three-month CPs of non-banking finance companies rose to 6.75-6.95% compared with 6.55-6.75% on Thursday, while those on papers of manufacturing companies were up by 10 basis points at 6.45-6.70%.

On the issuances side, Axis Bank and Punjab & Sind Bank tapped the market for its funding needs and as also surplus liquidity narrowed in the banking system, dealers said.

CDs aggregating 9.00 bln rupees were issued, as against none on Thursday. Axis Bank was the major issuer, raising 5 bln rupees through papers maturing in one-year at 7.40%.

Meanwhile, funds raised through CPs fell today in the absence of big-ticket issuances, dealers said.

Issuances of CPs also remained low due to lower requirement for funds.

So far today, CPs aggregating 21.00 bln rupees were issued, as against 44.00 bln rupees on Thursday. NTPC was the major issuer, raising 10 bln rupees through papers maturing in one year at 7.30%.

On Thursday, Small Industries Development Bank of India had raised 36 bln rupees through CPs.

Some companies tapped the market to meet their funding requirements and rolled over papers set to mature in the coming days.
