- India's foreign exchange reserves fell by $2.7 billion in the week ending November 7, 2025.

India's foreign exchange reserves have experienced a notable decline in recent weeks. In the week ending November 7, 2025, the reserves dropped by $2.7 billion, reaching a total of $687.73 billion. This follows a previous dip of $5.6 billion the week before, indicating a concerning trend.
The decrease in reserves is primarily attributed to a decline in foreign currency assets, a major component of the reserves, which fell by $2.45 billion to $562.13 billion. Additionally, the value of India's gold reserves also decreased by $1.95 billion, dropping to $101.53 billion during the same period.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) closely monitors developments in the foreign exchange market and intervenes when necessary to maintain orderly trading conditions. The central bank's efforts aim to moderate undue volatility in the rupee's exchange rate, though they are not guided by any fixed exchange rate target or band.
As India navigates the global economic landscape, the fluctuations in its foreign exchange reserves will continue to be a closely watched indicator of the country's financial stability and resilience.
