India's Forex Reserves Drop Nearly $15 Billion, Sharpest Weekly Fall Since November 2024
India's foreign exchange reserves fell by approximately USD 14.9 billion to USD 765.9 billion in the week ended September 18, marking the sharpest weekly decline since November 2024, according to Reserve Bank of India data. The drop was mainly due to a USD 14.8 billion decrease in foreign currency assets, including a USD 10.9 billion dollar sale and revaluation losses. Gold reserves rose slightly by USD 68 million, while special drawing rights and the IMF reserve position declined marginally. The fall follows recent record highs supported by foreign currency inflows under the FCNR(B) deposit swap scheme.
