India’s foreign exchange reserves surged by $5.6 billion, reaching $645.58 billion as of April 5, 2025, according to data released by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). This is the highest level in nearly 21 months, reflecting robust capital inflows and a strong balance of payments position. The increase is largely attributed to a rise in foreign currency assets and higher inflows into equity markets.
The forex reserves had been on a steady upward trend since the beginning of 2024, boosted by resilient FDI inflows, positive export earnings, and reduced outflows due to a more stable global financial environment. Analysts also point to the RBI’s proactive management of currency volatility as a contributing factor to the reserves build-up, especially in light of external uncertainties and oil price fluctuations.
The growing reserves are seen as a buffer against external shocks and a confidence booster for foreign investors. Economists say the current reserve level provides India with adequate import cover for over 11 months and enhances its ability to manage short-term capital outflows. With global markets showing signs of recovery, the RBI is expected to continue its balanced approach to monetary and forex policy.
