Rupee Kyun Gir Raha Hai?
Dekho, jab bhi crude oil ke prices badhte hain, apna Rupee seedha neeche jaata hai. March mein Brent crude prices 50% badh kar lagbhag $115 per barrel tak pahunch gaye the. Iske saath hi, market se paisa bhi nikal raha hai (capital outflows) aur trade deficit bhi badh raha hai. Ye sab milkar Indian Rupee par pressure bana rahe hain.
Isi wajah se, March 2026 mein Rupee 9.85% gir gaya tha, jo pichle 11 saalon mein sabse badi girawat hai. Ek din toh ye 95-per-dollar ke bhi kareeb pahunch gaya tha, 95.24 ka low bana kar. Aur toh aur, India ke forex reserves bhi $11.41 billion ghat kar $698.35 billion ho gaye the.
SBI Research Ka Naya Plan
SBI Research keh raha hai ki OMCs ko har din lagbhag $250-300 million dollar chahiye hote hain fuel import karne ke liye. Ye daily demand Rupee ko aur kamzor karti hai. Isko control karne ke liye, unhone suggest kiya hai ki RBI ek dedicated forex window banaye sirf OMCs ke liye. Isse unki dollar ki demand regular market se alag manage hogi aur Rupee par short-term pressure kam hoga.
Is window se demand-supply ka pata lagana bhi easy ho jayega, aur OMCs ko refinance ya swap options bhi mil sakte hain.
RBI Kya Kar Raha Hai?
RBI bhi Rupee ko support karne ke liye alag alag tools use kar raha hai, jaise 'Operation Twist' aur liquidity management. Haal hi mein, RBI ne banking system mein kaafi funds inject kiye hain. Lekin OMCs ki daily ki $75-80 billion ki annual demand aur global tanaav ke saamne ye efforts kam padte dikh rahe hain.
OMCs Ki Situation
Indian Oil, BPCL aur HPCL jaise bade OMCs ki market cap bhi kaafi badi hai (IOC lagbhag ₹1.91 lakh crore, BPCL ₹1.22 lakh crore, HPCL ₹72,500 crore). Ye companies intrinsically currency stability se judi hui hain kyunki unko regularly dollar chahiye hota hai.
Aage Kya Ho Sakta Hai?
Experts ka kehna hai ki OMCs ke liye special forex window ek temporary solution ho sakta hai, lekin Rupee ki asli problem global oil prices, geopolitical tensions, aur capital outflows mein hai. Kuch analysts jaise ING Bank expect kar rahe hain ki Rupee 87.00 tak ja sakta hai, lekin kuch aur predictions mein ye 93.21 tak bhi ja sakta hai. To, overall situation abhi bhi uncertain hai.
