India's foreign exchange reserves jumped by a record $44.903 billion to a lifetime high of $785.706 billion in the week ended September 4, 2026, the RBI said. That gives importers and firms paying overseas bills more cushion against rupee swings. Reserves had fallen during the West Asia conflict, then recovered after the RBI's June forex swap push. Watch the rupee before your next foreign payment.
