In the April-June quarter, India's net external liabilities surged by $16.5 billion, reaching a total of $220.3 billion, as reported by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). This surge was primarily attributed to an increase in external liabilities and a decline in foreign-owned assets. The ratio of India's international assets to international liabilities slightly decreased to 84.6 percent in June 2026 from 85.7 percent in the previous quarter.
This change is mainly due to direct investments of $15.7 billion and other investments of $4.2 billion, which offset the decline in portfolio equity investments of $14 billion. The RBI's data also indicates that debt liabilities, which constitute the majority of external liabilities, increased to 56.9 percent by the end of June 2026.
