Why is so much money suddenly coming to India from THESE countries, and who is sending it?
Image for representational purposes New Delhi: Due to the depreciation of the Indian rupee, the Indians living in the Gulf countries like the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia have increased remittances back to India. It is important to note that the rupee has weakened against the AED (UAE's currency), with one AED now valued at approximately Rs 23.5 — the lowest since the beginning of April. The fall in the rupee's value has prompted Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) to quickly send money home. There has been an increase in AED-INR transactions since June 19. Officials at currency exchange houses say NRIs are no longer waiting for further depreciation. Those who have even a small amount of money are remitting it immediately. A senior official at a UAE exchange house told Gulf News, 'Last Thursday was the best day in recent weeks to send money through AED-INR.' He also mentioned that although the rupee briefly strengthened to 23.46, most NRIs continued to remit funds. Remittances Usually Dip in June Remittances generally decrease in June. This is because many Indians spend on travel and other expenses during the summer holidays. However, this year, the pattern has changed due to decrease in the value of rupee. Remittance volumes remained steady even over the weekend and are expected to stay strong through Monday. Officials from exchange houses say that if the rupee remains weak or falls further in July, it will benefit those sending money. One official said, 'If the rates stay at this level or drop again, it will be a double advantage.' Growth Seen Despite Geopolitical Uncertainty It is important to note that the growth has come despite geopolitical uncertainty, including the conflict between Israel and Iran. Typically, such events lead investors to turn to the US dollar as a safe haven. However, this time, gold has played that role. In simple terms, the decline in the value of the rupee has proven beneficial for NRIs. They are able to send more rupees to India while spending fewer AED. As a result, they are taking advantage of this opportunity and remitting more money home.

Rupee recovers from two-month low level; settles 18 paise higher at 86.55 against US dollar
At the interbank foreign exchange, the domestic currency opened at 86.65 and traded in a narrow range of 86.55-86.67, before ending the session at its intra-day peak of 86.55 against the US dollar, registering a gain of 18 paise from previous closing level. A robust sentiment in domestic equity markets further supported the local unit, according to forex traders. Mumbai, Jun 20 (PTI) The rupee snapped its three-day losing streak and settled with a gain of 18 paise at 86.55 against the US dollar on Friday, buoyed by a massive inflow of foreign capital, retreating crude oil prices and a weakening greenback. The rupee had lost 30 paise to close at an over two-month low of 86.73 against the dollar on Thursday, logging a combined loss of 69 paise in the past three sessions. According to Maneesh Sharma, AVP – Commodities & Currencies, Anand Rathi Shares and Stock Brokers, the rupee gained on Friday but declined a little over 1 per cent this month so far, 'with a large portion of its decline occurring after Israel attacked targets in Iran last Friday'. Dilip Parmar, Research Analyst, HDFC Securities, attributed the rupee's resurgence to 'a revitalisation in the domestic stock markets and a subdued greenback, which receded following reports of President Donald Trump postponing a decision regarding an Iran strike'. Additionally, Parmar said, lower imported commodity prices lent additional buoyancy to the local rupee. 'In the near-term, the spot USD/INR pair faces resistance at 87.10 and finds support at 86.45. The overall bias for the USD/INR pair remains favourable,' he added. Meanwhile, the dollar index, which gauges the greenback's strength against a basket of six currencies, was trading 0.30 per cent lower at 98.60. In the domestic equity market, the 30-share BSE Sensex surged 1,046.30 points to settle at 82,408.17, while Nifty soared 319.15 points to 25,112.40. Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, declined 2.36 per cent to USD 76.99 per barrel in futures trade. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) purchased equities worth Rs 7,940.70 crore on a net basis on Friday, according to exchange data. The latest weekly data released by the Reserve Bank of India on Friday showed India's forex reserves rose USD 2.294 billion to USD 698.95 billion during the week ended June 13. However, government data showed the country's eight core sectors' growth slowed down to 0.7 per cent, lowest in nine months, in May 2025 against 6.9 per cent in the same month last year. In April, the growth in output of these key infrastructure sectors were recorded at 1 per cent. PTI TRB HVA This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.
