Overseas Indians' faith grows in Indian economy with 1 billion dollar deposits in April Last Updated : 22 Jun 2024 12:21:30 PM IST Overseas Indians' faith grows in Indian economy with 1 billion dollar deposits in April Showing their confidence in the resilient Indian economy despite global macroeconomic conditions, non-resident Indians (NRIs) deposited around $1 billion in the country in April alone.
Last year, overseas Indians deposited $150 million in the same month, showing their growing belief in the Indian economy as there is increasing evidence of a trend upshift taking shape, which is shifting India's growth trajectory from the 2003-19 average of 7 per cent to the 2021-24 average of 8 per cent or even more.
According to latest data from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the surge in NRI deposits reflects the resilience of the Indian economy.
For the NRIs, There are three key deposit schemes in the country - the foreign currency non-resident (bank) or FCNR(B); the non-resident external rupee account or NRE(RA) and the non-resident ordinary (NRO) deposit scheme.
In April, NRIs deposited $583 million in the NRE(RA) scheme, followed by $483 million in the FCNR(B) scheme.
During the pandemic, NRI deposits grew to $142 billion from $131 billion.
