India mounts rupee defence
06-Jun-2026

In a sweeping and coordinated response to the mounting pressure on the rupee, the Centre and the Reserve Bank of India on Friday unveiled a package of measures designed to attract dollar inflows, arrest the currency’s slide and finance a current account deficit that could nearly double to 2% of GDP this fiscal year if crude oil prices remain elevated around $95 per barrel. RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra left little doubt about the central bank’s resolve. “We shall remain vigilant, and we are fully prepared to do whatever it takes to preserve orderly market conditions,” he told reporters. He also ruled out any restrictions on capital outflows, saying no such measures were under consideration.
