India's forex reserves fall around 30 billion in March

India's foreign exchange reserves dipped by USD 10.288 billion to USD 688.058 billion during the week that ended on 27 March 2026, as per the data from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).

FCAs fell by USD 6.622 billion to USD 551.072 billion during the reporting week. Expressed in US dollar terms, foreign currency assets reflect the impact of movements in non-dollar currencies such as the Euro, Pound and Yen, which are part of the reserves. The value of gold reserves registered a decrease during the week. Gold holdings dipped by USD 3.666 billion to USD 113.521 billion.
