According to the latest report of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the foreign exchange reserve of the country, or foreign exchange reserves of the country, has increased by $ 1.98 billion to 688.13 billion in the week ended on April 25. This is the eighth consecutive week when an increase in the reserve of India has been recorded.
However, this figure is still slightly below the $ 704.88 billion high of September 2024, but seeing the trend, it is clear that India’s foreign currency positions are getting stronger again.
FCA’s biggest contribution
The biggest contribution behind this edge was Foreign Currency Assets (FCA), which has increased by $ 2.17 billion to $ 580.66 billion. Note that in addition to dollars, FCA also includes other currencies like euro, pounds and yen and their valuation also leads to fluctuations.
However, this week, gold reserves have fallen by $ 207 million and now it has come to $ 84.36 billion. Apart from this, SPECIAL Drawing Rights (SDRS) related to IMF increased by $ 21 million to $ 18.58 billion, and India’s reserve position in IMF also increased by $ 2 million to $ 4.51 billion.
Center has no borrowings
RBI also said that the central government has no borrowing of them, but the loans given to the states have declined. This has come down from 36,792 crore to 22,324 crore. If we talk about from March 2025 till now, then there has been a total increase of $ 19.80 billion in the Forex Reserve of India i.e. 1.67 lakh crores. FCA, Gold, SDR and IMF Positions have contributed positively in this. If you look throughout the year, since 26 April 2024, there has been an increase of Rs 5.61 lakh crore ($ 50.21 billion). This in itself shows India’s external economic strength.
