The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has proposed new guidelines for governing rupee interest rate derivative (IRD) transactions to reduce compliance burdens and ensure fair pricing. The draft guidelines introduce non-bank finance companies (NBFCs) and primary dealers (PDs) as market participants. Market participants must report over-the-counter (OTC) IRD transactions, specifying details like notional value and maturity. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) will set market timings, with the final rules expected in three months.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has raised the interest rate caps on foreign currency deposits of the Indian diaspora, aiming to attract more capital flows amidst pressure on the rupee. The move comes as the rupee has hit all-time lows against the dollar, and the RBI seeks to stabilize the currency through forex reserves. Banks now have the option to raise fresh Foreign Currency Non-Resident Bank deposits of 1 to 3 years maturity at higher interest rates. The relaxation is valid until March 31, 2022. The RBI also announced the expansion of the Forex-Retail platform through linkages with Bharat Connect.

The Indian rupee depreciated to a record low of 83.48 against the US dollar as the greenback strengthened against major currencies. The decline was driven by the surprising interest rate cut by the Swiss National Bank, which increased the likelihood of a rate cut by the European Central Bank. Foreign fund outflows also impacted the rupee. However, the domestic equity market showed gains, with the Sensex rising by 0.26% and the Nifty by 0.39%. Overall, the rupee is expected to have a negative bias due to the strong US dollar and potential rebound in crude oil prices.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) reduced the repo rate by 50 basis points, hoping to provide EMI relief. However, not all borrowers will see immediate benefits. Loans tied to banksโ internal benchmarks or with fixed interest rates may not see an immediate reduction. Non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) use internal models to decide on passing the benefit of a repo cut. The impact depends on various factors, including loan type and lender.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is estimated to have spent around $5-$6 billion in the offshore non-deliverable forwards market over two weeks to stabilize the rupee's value and curb volatility. This intervention follows significant depreciation of the rupee, which threatened to increase imported inflation and affect growth prospects. The interventions have led to notable declines in India's forex reserves, with the RBI focusing on reducing currency market volatility rather than targeting specific exchange rate levels.

The Indian market continued its upward momentum and reached fresh record highs during the week ending September 20. This was largely driven by the unexpected 50 basis points interest rate cut by the US Federal Reserve, as well as positive factors such as a fall in jobless claims, inflow of foreign institutional investors (FIIs), and expectations of a similar move by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The BSE Sensex and Nifty50 indices both posted gains, with the BSE Mid-cap and Large-cap indices also showing positive movements. The Nifty Realty, Bank, Auto, and FMCG sectors made notable gains, while the IT, Media, and Pharma sectors experienced declines. The Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar, and FIIs continued to buy equities in the Indian market.

Medial
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.

Despite recent U.S. job data suggesting potential Federal Reserve rate cuts, inflation figures remain pivotal, affecting both local and global economic strategies. Asian currencies mirrored caution amid these developments.
