The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) statistical supplement revealed on Friday that India’s foreign exchange reserves increased to $572 billion in the week ending January 13, their highest level since early August of the previous year.
That amount exceeds both the country’s reserves for the week ending January 6 ($561.58 billion) and the more than two-year low ($524.52 billion) reached in October 2022.
Although traders have reported instances of state-run banks potentially buying dollars on behalf of the RBI, the central bank has sometimes intervened in the spot and forwards market to preserve the rupee.
