This was primarily due to a decline in imports of goods and services, and an increase in exports. The services account also showed a net increase of 2.2 billion US dollars in June 2026, compared to a net increase of 1.3 billion US dollars in the same period of the previous year. This growth was mainly driven by increased exports of services.
The overall balance of payments improved from a deficit of -8.1 billion US dollars in June 2025 to a surplus of 2.9 billion US dollars in June 2026. The capital account showed a net increase of 9.1 billion US dollars in June 2026, as opposed to a deficit of -1.6 billion US dollars in the previous year. This positive shift was largely because of an increase in foreign direct investment in India.
Overall, June 2026 saw a significant shift in India's balance of payments, with a noticeable improvement in the current and capital accounts.
