How much overseas capital has India attracted since June, and what are the main instruments used?

India has attracted over $40 billion in overseas capital since June, with $36.72 billion coming from Foreign Currency Non-Resident (FCNR(B)) deposits as of July 31, and the remainder from Overseas Foreign Currency Borrowings and External Commercial Borrowings. These instruments collectively brought total inflows to about $41 billion.

Why did the RBI intervene in the foreign exchange market on July 24, and how large was the intervention?

The RBI sold about $7 billion on July 24 to defend the rupee amid pressure caused by escalating Middle East tensions, which briefly pushed crude oil prices above $100 a barrel — one of its largest direct interventions in months.
