 "Forex reserves at record high of $360.25 billion")
India’s foreign exchange reserves rose by $333.7 million to reach a fresh life-time high of $360.250 billion in the week to April 15, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) said on Friday.
In the previous week, the reserves had increased by $157.4 million to $359.917 billion. The forex kitty increased on account of rise in foreign currency assets (FCAs), which constitute a major component of the overall reserves.
FCAs rose by $341.4 million to $336.187 billion in the week under review, an RBI release said.
