India makes a push for cheaper foreign loans in yen, rupee

India is increasing its reliance on yen-denominated loans to benefit from Japan’s ultra-low interest rates and the rupee’s appreciation against the yen. By engaging multilateral development banks, New Delhi aims to reduce borrowing costs and manage exchange rate risks effectively. This strategic shift primarily supports infrastructure and development projects through official development assistance (ODA) and loans facilitated in Japanese currency, ensuring stable repayment and financial efficiency.

Yen at 34-yr low after BoJ ends negative interest rate; these 3 Indian stocks may benefit

The weakening of the Japanese yen against the US dollar presents opportunities for auto-ancillary companies supplying components to Japanese automakers and Indian banks with exposure to yen. A weaker yen makes Japanese products cheaper in global markets and reduces import costs for Indian businesses reliant on Japanese goods and services. Sectors like electronics, machinery, automotive, chemicals, and FMCG may benefit from this exchange rate gain. For example, Maruti Suzuki, which has collaborations with Japanese companies, stands to gain from a weaker yen. Lumax Industries and JTEKT India, with royalty payments and transactions in yen, are also poised for favorable outcomes.

NBFCs tap $3.67 billion in overseas syndicated loans, more than double 2024 levels

Indian non-bank financial companies (NBFCs) raised $3.67 billion from overseas syndicated loans in 2025, over double the $1.64 billion raised in 2024. The increase is due to cheaper pricing, more bank participation, and favorable tax treatment. Despite a 2.35% rupee depreciation against the US dollar, overseas banks are eager to lend, even to lower-rated NBFCs. This trend is driven by cheaper floating rate loans and a quest for funding source diversification.

Rupee steadies to cap rough week dominated by Trump's tariff jolt

The Indian rupee steadied on Friday, aided by potential Reserve Bank of India intervention, though it recorded its most significant weekly decline since late 2022. Concerns were driven by U.S. tariffs and continuous foreign portfolio outflows. The rupee closed at 87.5300 against the U.S. dollar, down 1.2% for the week. President Trump's announcement of a 25% tariff on Indian imports exacerbated pressure on the rupee, which faced additional pressure from consistent foreign equity outflows.

Rupee falls to record low, RBI likely steps in

The Indian rupee hit a new record low on Wednesday due to increased demand for dollars by local oil companies, importers, and equity-related outflows. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) intervened by selling dollars through state-run banks to prevent further losses. The rupee closed at 83.3725 against the U.S. dollar, down 0.1% compared to the previous session's close. The RBI also likely intervened in the non-deliverable forwards market to prevent further depreciation. Weakness in the offshore Chinese yuan and the Japanese yen also contributed to the rupee's decline.

Rupee drops below 84 per dollar on equity outflows, oil prices

- Indian rupee falls below 84 per dollar for the first time on concerns of oil prices and foreign outflows from equity market. - The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had defended the 84 level, but the rupee breached it on Friday. - RBI intervened by instructing state-run banks to sell dollars to prevent a sharp fall in the rupee. - The rupee may face further pressure, but the RBI is expected to only allow marginal depreciation to maintain stability. - Factors contributing to the rupee's decline include rising oil prices, foreign selling of Indian shares, and a widening trade deficit leading to a shrinking balance of payments surplus. - Asian currencies have performed better than the rupee recently, while expectations rise for the Indian central bank to cut rates.

Indian rupee sinks to record low of 12.33 versus offshore yuan in likely boost to competitiveness

The Indian rupee has dropped to a record low against the offshore Chinese yuan, driven by U.S. tariffs on Indian goods. The rupee's decline may boost competitiveness for Indian exporters against Chinese rivals in key markets. With a weaker rupee, Indian products become cheaper, potentially narrowing India’s trade deficit with China. This development is being closely monitored by the Reserve Bank of India, which might find the rupee's movement beneficial within certain limits.

SoftBank posts profit for second straight quarter but remains in red for full year

Japanese technology investor SoftBank Group reported a net profit of 328.9 billion yen ($2.11 billion) for the fourth quarter of its financial year, compared to a loss of 32 billion yen the previous year. However, SoftBank remained in the red for the full year, despite two consecutive quarters of profit. The focus is now on SoftBank subsidiary Arm Holdings, a British chip designer, which is seen as crucial to fuel SoftBank's push into artificial intelligence. Arm reported record sales in the first quarter, but its surging valuation did not contribute to SoftBank's profit.

Rupee edges lower as dollar sales by foreign banks offset most of greenback demand

The Indian rupee weakened as corporate hedging and speculators increased demand for the dollar, which was offset by foreign banks' dollar sales. The rupee closed at 87.0650 per dollar from a previous 86.9500. A rise in local equities and foreign portfolio investments helped stabilize the rupee, despite tariff concerns. Traders are awaiting the Federal Reserve Chair’s upcoming speech for insights on U.S. interest rates, which could impact the dollar's strength.
