What Happened

India's foreign exchange reserves have reached an all-time high of $729.328 billion. This surge marks a significant build-up in the nation's external reserves. Foreign currency assets and gold reserves drove this substantial increase. The Reserve Bank of India's measures have attracted considerable forex inflows. These reserves are now higher than both end-March and a year earlier levels.
