Synopsis

Net claims of non-residents on India increased significantly in the first quarter of FY26-27. The rise was driven by an increase in external liabilities and a decline in foreign-owned assets. Total international financial assets also decreased during this period, affecting the asset-to-liability coverage ratio. Foreign direct investment liabilities rose while portfolio equity investments dropped, indicating mixed investment trends.
