India’s Rupee & Capital Account Analysis (2007–2025)
Visual 1: India’s CAD vs Capital Inflows (2007–2025)
For most years, capital inflows exceeded the CAD → rupee remained stable. But from 2024 onward, capital inflows dipped below CAD, leading to rupee pressure.
Visual 2: FDI Trendline (2019–2025)
Shows a clear collapse from $44 bn → < $1 bn. This indicates structural issues rather than cyclical fluctuations.
Visual 3: FPI Net Flows (2021–2025)
Alternating but mostly negative, with a one-year positive spike. Portfolio investors are increasingly net sellers, not buyers.
Visual 4: Rupee Depreciation vs Capital Flows
Sharp rupee depreciation aligns almost perfectly with capital flow slowdown—not CAD trends.
