Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The robust capital inflows are expected to provide comfort to the Indian Rupee, which had been under pressure. These capital flow measures, combined with other policies, have supported the accumulation of foreign exchange reserves, which reached $765.9 billion as of September 18, 2026. RBI policy and global factors are currently influencing yields in the Indian sovereign debt market.

The Centre allowed the Reserve Bank of India to introduce a concessional forex swap window, while tax relief encourages foreign portfolio investor inflows.
