Banks Propose RBI Review of Uniform Forex Exposure Limit Amid Volatility

Large state-owned and private banks have urged the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to reconsider the uniform 100 million net open position (NOP) limit on unhedged foreign currency exposure. Introduced to curb rupee volatility and arbitrage between onshore and offshore markets, the cap applies equally to all banks. Bank officials suggest adopting a dynamic regulation linking NOP limits to each institution's size and transaction flows, potentially revisiting the rule once market volatility eases.
