India's Forex Reserves Surge $44.9 Billion to Record $785.7 Billion, Fourth Largest Globally

  • On Friday, the Reserve Bank of India reported that foreign exchange reserves surged by $44.9 billion to a record $785.7 billion for the week ending September 4, 2026.
  • Reserves began increasing after the Central bank introduced concessional forex swap initiatives in June to counter sharp Rupee depreciation amid conflict in West Asia.
  • The dedicated dollar-mobilization program yielded more than $136 billion in new inflows, prompting the RBI to close the FCNR-B window ahead of schedule on August 31.
  • RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra told CNBC-TV18 on Friday that these inflows stabilized the foreign exchange market and improved sentiment, strengthening the bank's intervention capacity.
  • While the forex kitty has grown for the 10th consecutive week with a cumulative $119 billion haul, reserves held in gold contracted by $2.594 billion during the week.
