RBI books ₹1.69 lakh crore forex gains amid record dollar sales
The Reserve Bank of India earned ₹1.69 lakh crore from foreign exchange transactions in FY26, up 52% from the previous year, as it sold a record $53.13 billion from forex reserves to support the rupee amid a 9.5% depreciation. RBIs total foreign income rose 27% to ₹3.28 lakh crore, helped by higher returns from foreign securities, while domestic income increased 26% to ₹1 lakh crore due to higher interest on rupee securities.
