Indian Rupee ki girawat rukne ka naam nahi le rahi hai, ab toh US Dollar ke saamne 96.96 ka naya record low bana diya hai. Is saal 2026 mein toh ye Asia ki sabse downfall wali currency ban gayi hai, aur lagta hai 100/$ ka level bhi tootega.
Crude Oil ka kaali nishaan?
Sabse bada reason hai crude oil prices ka $110 per barrel ke aas paas pahunchna. India apni 85% oil requirement import karta hai, toh jab oil mehenga hota hai, dollars ki demand badh jaati hai, aur rupee kamzor ho jaata hai. Experts keh rahe hain ki agar prices 50% se zyada nahi gire, toh rupee ka recover hona mushkil hai. Kuch analysts ko lagta hai 2026 mein Brent crude $60/bbl tak aa jayega, par kuch geopolitical tensions aur Strait of Hormuz ki wajah se $96/bbl ke aas paas rehne ki bhi umeed hai. US EIA ka kehna hai ki Q2 2026 mein $106/bbl se gir kar end of year tak $79/bbl ho jayega.
Paisa nikal raha hai, deficit badh raha hai
Foreign investors bhi India se apna paisa nikaal rahe hain. 2026 mein toh ye outflow ₹2.2 lakh crore ko paar kar chuka hai, khaas kar April aur May mein kaafi paisa nikla. Is capital flight se dollar ki supply-demand ka balance bigad raha hai. Aur upar se, India ka current account deficit (CAD) bhi ek long-term problem hai, jo Q3 FY26 mein 1.3% of GDP ho gaya tha aur FY26 mein 0.9% aur FY27 mein 2.3% tak jaane ka estimate hai. Ye badhta hua deficit forex reserves par aur pressure daal raha hai.
RBI kya kar raha hai?
Reserve Bank of India (RBI) apne forex reserves se dollars bech kar market ko stable karne ki koshish kar raha hai, par uska focus volatility control karne par hai, kisi specific level ko defend karne par nahi. RBI ne $5 billion ka USD/INR buy/sell swap auction bhi announce kiya hai taaki liquidity aur forex reserves badhaye ja sakein. In sab ke bawajood, intervention se sirf rupee ki girawat thodi slow hui hai, par wo abhi bhi neeche hi jaa raha hai.
Analysts ki rai aur performance?
Kuch analysts ko lagta hai ki RBI intervention ki wajah se short term mein rupee 95-97 ke beech stabilize ho sakta hai, par kuch ko lagta hai ki 100/$ ka level ek saal mein aa jayega. 2026 ke end tak USD/INR ka target 97-98 se le kar ₹111.11 tak bhi jaa sakta hai. Dusri taraf, Taiwan dollar aur Thai baht jaise Asian currencies mazboot hue hain, jabki INR 2026 mein 6.5% se zyada kamzor hua hai. Ye performance India ke economic structure se juda hai, jahan import par zyada nirbharta hai aur current account deficit lagaatar bana rehta hai, jo ki export-driven economies se alag hai.
Aage kya challenges hain?
India ke external balance mein kamzori, aur West Asia mein badhti hui geopolitical tensions, ye sab rupee ke liye badi chinta ka vishay hain. Oil imports par zyada nirbharta India ko global price shocks ke liye vulnerable banati hai. Widening current account deficit aur ₹2.2 lakh crore se zyada ka FPI outflow 2026 mein, ek pareshan karne wala picture dikha raha hai. CAD ke FY27 mein 2.3% of GDP tak pahunchne ka projection hai, jo forex reserves ko aur strain karega. Jabki EIA ka $79/bbl tak oil price girne ka forecast kuch ummeed deta hai, lekin agar ongoing disruptions aur geopolitical risks bane rahe, toh prices $90-$100/bbl ke beech hi reh sakti hain. Is situation mein CAD kam karne aur stable capital inflows attract karne ke liye careful policy actions ki zarurat hai, shayad fuel price adjustments bhi karna pade.
