India’s Forex Reserves See Sharpest Jump in Two Years RBI Data
In a significant development, India’s foreign exchange reserves surged by $15.267 billion to reach $653.966 billion during the week ending March 7, 2025, marking the sharpest rise in over two years. This sudden spike is primarily attributed to the $10 billion forex swap conducted by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on February 28, 2025, where the central bank purchased dollars against the rupee to inject liquidity into the system.
