Foreign exchange reserves slipped by USD 1.877 billion to USD 686.227 billion in the week ended November 28, according to RBI data.

India’s foreign exchange reserves slipped by USD 1.877 billion to USD 686.227 billion in the week ended November 28, according to RBI data. This marks the second consecutive weekly decline, following a steeper fall of USD 4.472 billion previously. Meanwhile, gold reserves climbed USD 1.613 billion to USD 105.795 billion, aided by rising global gold prices amid geopolitical tensions and heightened demand for safe-haven assets.

The RBI’s Weekly Statistical Supplement reveals that foreign currency assets (FCA), which form the bulk of the reserves, contracted by USD 3.569 billion to USD 557.031 billion.

Other components posted modest gains—SDRs rose USD 63 million to USD 18.628 billion, and India’s reserve position with the IMF increased by USD 16 million to USD 4.772 billion. Despite recent declines, total reserves are still up nearly USD 48 billion in 2025, after gains of USD 20 billion in 2024 and USD 58 billion in 2023.

The RBI continues to manage rupee volatility through active intervention in the currency market, oscillating between dollar purchases and sales depending on the currency’s strength. Global market movements in currencies and commodities also shape week-to-week fluctuations.

Sky Gold & Diamonds Ltd, one of India’s fast-growing jewellery manufacturers, has been added to the MSCI India Domestic Small Cap Index, as part of the latest index review announced by MSCI.

The inclusion marks an important milestone for Sky Gold, reflecting the company’s growing presence and relevance within India’s listed small-cap universe.

A key development during the current quarter has been the company turning operating cash flow positive, marking an important step in improving working capital discipline and strengthening the quality of its growth. The company remains focused on balancing business expansion with profitability and cash flow generation.

Sky Gold is simultaneously strengthening its governance and management framework, with a structured leadership approach, robust and strengthened financial and governance processes, including engagement with a large global accounting firm.

Operationally, Sky Gold continues to focus on lightweight and value-added jewellery, while expanding its customer base and strengthening its presence across organised jewellery retail. Its asset-light manufacturing model remains central to its strategy of scaling capacity while maintaining capital efficiency.

Commenting on the development, Mr. Mangesh Chauhan, Managing Director, Sky Gold and Diamonds Limited, said:

“Our inclusion in the MSCI India Domestic Small Cap Index is an important recognition of our growth journey over the years from building scale to building a stronger, more disciplined and institution-ready organisation. As we move forward, our focus is on a sustainable business—one that grows profitably, converts growth into cash, deploys capital efficiently and continues to strengthen the systems and governance required to operate at a much larger scale”.

With Sky Gold 3.0, we are building the organisation for this next phase of growth with greater financial discipline, deeper customer relationships and a stronger scalable operating model. We believe this inclusion will further broaden Sky Gold’s visibility within the institutional investment community and reinforce our commitment to creating long-term value for our stakeholders.”
