RBI Foreign Currency Sale: The Reserve Bank of India i.e. RBI did not face such a problem even during the Corona period, as it has now. RBI said in its recent bulletin that after the start of the Iran war, there was a decline in the rupee against the dollar in March, due to which about Rs 94 thousand crore of dollars worth of foreign exchange reserves had to be sold in the open market. Its purpose was to stop the weakness of the Indian rupee.
According to a report, the Reserve Bank of India has earned a total profit of Rs 1.69 lakh crore from foreign exchange transactions in the financial year 2025-26 ending March 31. This profit from foreign exchange transactions is 52 percent more than the previous financial year. In the financial year 2025, RBI had earned a profit of Rs 1.11 lakh crore by selling dollars.

Why does RBI sell foreign currency?
The Reserve Bank of India is the custodian of the country’s foreign exchange reserves. He has assets in currencies like dollar, euro, pound. It is important to understand that RBI has sold dollars several times to stop the fall of the rupee and maintain market stability. Due to this active intervention and better management of foreign assets, it has earned huge income. This is not the profit of any company but the result of RBI management, investment income and foreign exchange operations.
How to earn from dollar sales
Experts say that when the central bank sells dollars from foreign exchange reserves, it benefits. RBI’s total income from foreign sources increased by 27% to Rs 3.28 lakh crore in the financial year 2025-26. According to the central bank’s accounts, foreign source income includes an 11% increase in interest income from holding foreign guarantees. This income increased to Rs 1.08 lakh crore, whereas earlier it was Rs 97,000 crore. This interest income is mainly due to investment of foreign exchange reserves in foreign shares and their use in global financial markets.
