India's Capital Inflows Projected to Rise Sharply, Supporting Balance of Payments Surplus in FY2027
India's capital account inflows are projected to rise sharply to around USD 120 billion in FY2027, driven mainly by banking capital, including USD 70 billion through FCNR(B) deposits, and USD 20 billion in external commercial borrowings. This surge could help offset a widening current account deficit, estimated at about 1.2% of GDP, supporting a balance of payments surplus between USD 50 billion and USD 61 billion. Reports highlight strong foreign currency inflows and RBI's supportive external financing position amid stable crude oil price assumptions.
