India is prepared to take further policy measures to strengthen capital inflows if the need arises, Finance Minister Ms. Nirmala Sitharaman said, signalling the government’s readiness to respond to evolving global economic challenges. Speaking on the outlook for the Indian economy, the statement noted that the Centre and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) have already initiated several steps aimed at attracting foreign capital and improving market confidence. However, the statement underscored that these measures represent the initial phase of the government’s efforts and that additional interventions may be introduced as needed. The government’s focus remains on ensuring that sufficient investments continue to flow into the country, supporting economic growth and financial stability.
The remarks come at a time when India is navigating uncertainties linked to foreign exchange movements, fluctuating crude oil and fertiliser prices, and concerns over rainfall patterns. Further in the statement, it was noted that the government is closely monitoring these developments and remains committed to taking appropriate measures to safeguard the economy. Recent policy actions, including tax-related relief measures and regulatory initiatives designed to make Indian financial markets more attractive to overseas investors, are expected to support capital inflows. The statement further emphasized that the administration is prepared to act proactively to maintain investor confidence and strengthen the country’s external financial position. In continuation, the statement added that ensuring a steady flow of capital into India remains a key priority as the country seeks to sustain growth amid an uncertain global environment.
