Incidentally in October 2021, the country`s forex reserves had reached an all-time high of $645 billion.
In the period under review, the reserves fell mainly due to foreign currency assets (FCAs) shrinking by $2.146 billion to $514.489 billion.
The reserves have been declining as the RBI has used the funds to defend the rupee amid pressures caused mainly by global developments.
