India's Forex Reserves Decline by USD 14.88 Billion to USD 765.90 Billion
India's foreign exchange reserves fell by approximately USD 14.88 billion to USD 765.90 billion in the week ended September 18, mainly due to a decline in foreign currency assets, which dropped by about USD 14.82 billion. Gold reserves increased slightly by USD 68 million, while Special Drawing Rights and the reserve position with the IMF decreased marginally. Despite this weekly decline, reserves remain significantly higher than levels from the previous year and end-March 2026, reflecting overall growth in recent months.
