In the recently held Hindustan Times Leadership Summit (HTLS), Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman made important comments on the falling value of the rupee against the dollar. He said that while debating the currency value, we should keep in mind the current economic realities instead of comparing the old levels. According to him, the main reason for the recent decline in the rupee is the Foreign Capital Outflow after the US-India deal, which is a normal economic process. He assured that the value of rupee will be stable and improvement will also be seen in the times to come. The Finance Minister also emphasized on the strong position of the Indian Economy. He said that the strong GDP growth of 8.2% in the second quarter of the financial year 2026 will continue further. The growth rate for the entire FY26 is expected to be more than 7%, which reflects India’s economic strength and investor confidence.

India’s economy grew at a robust 8.2 percent in the July–September quarter, the highest in the last six quarters. Last year in the same quarter the GDP was 5.6 percent and in April-June it was recorded at 7.8 percent. Economists had estimated growth at 7.3 per cent, while the RBI had pegged it at 7 per cent, but the actual figures exceeded these estimates. The reasons behind this sharp growth are relief in GST, increased demand in the market before festivals, increase in expenditure in rural areas and strength in many sectors. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had earlier said that the GST cut would leave people with additional savings of around Rs 2 lakh crore, and the second quarter results reflect the same effect. Sector wise, primary sectors like agriculture and mining grew by 3.1 percent. The agriculture sector has grown at the rate of 3.5 percent.
