It may be recalled that in February 2004, the Reserve Bank initiated the practice of compiling half-yearly reports on the management of foreign exchange reserves and making them public to promote greater transparency and enhance disclosure in the management of the country’s foreign exchange reserves.

In this connection, Reserve Bank of India has today released the 46th Half-Yearly Report on Management of Foreign Exchange Reserves with reference to end-March 2026.

During October 2025-March 2026, India’s foreign exchange reserves decreased from USD 700.09 billion to USD 691.11 billion.
