India’s foreign-exchange reserves fell by $2.69 billion to about $717.06 billion in the week ended October 30, marking a second consecutive weekly decline. The decline from September’s record reflects lower foreign-currency assets and gold reserves, valuation changes and RBI intervention, while the article notes that a prolonged fall could raise import costs and inflation risks.
If reserve drawdowns continue as the RBI supports the rupee, India may have less capacity to cushion currency pressure; rupee weakness could make imported feed ingredients more expensive. The reported level remains substantial, so the decline does not by itself indicate an immediate supply shock.
