Kaise bani ye situation?
Asal mein, ye jo global tensions aur oil prices ki badhti hui prices hain na, isne Rupees par lagatar pressure bana rakha hai. RBI jo currency ko stabilise karne ki koshish kar rahi hai, wo bhi utni effective nahi ho paa rahi hai. Lagta hai ye temporary problem nahi, kuch deeper issues hain.
Oil Shocks aur paisa bahar
Sabse bada reason hai crude oil ke prices ka teen mahine se high rehna. Aur upar se, 2026 ke pehle chaar mahine mein nearly $20 billion India ke stocks se bahar chale gaye hain. Poore pichle saal se zyada! Iske chalte, India ka balance of payments deficit badh raha hai. Kuch banks estimate kar rahe hain ki ye deficit is fiscal year mein $50 billion tak jaa sakta hai.
RBI ki defence mein constraints
Ab RBI kya kar rahi hai? Wo dollar bech kar Rupee ko support karne ki koshish kar rahi hai. Lekin unke paas bhi zyada dollars nahi bache hain. Gross foreign exchange reserves $703 billion hain, par $78 billion ka negative forward book hai, matlab RBI ko future mein itna paisa dollar mein dena hai. Isse unki intervention karne ki capacity kam ho jaati hai.
Policy ka mushkil balance
RBI ke liye ye situation bahut tricky ho gayi hai. Ek taraf interest rates badha sakte hain paisa attract karne ke liye, par usse economy slow ho sakti hai. India energy import par bahut depend karta hai, isliye oil price shocks ka zyada asar padta hai. Bas market intervention se kaam nahi chalega, kuch permanent solutions bhi chahiye.
Analysts kya predict kar rahe hain?
Experts kya keh rahe hain? Bank of America Securities ko lagta hai mid-year tak Rupee 94 tak jaa sakta hai. IDFC First Bank 95-96 ke beech dekha raha hai, aur Barclays ka target toh 96.80 hai saal ke end tak. Agar oil average $85-$90 raha fiscal 2027 tak, toh aur bhi measures lene pad sakte hain, jaise exporters ko apna paisa jaldi laane ko kehna.
