Mumbai: The Reserve Bank of Indias intervention in the currency market may have halted the slide of the Indian rupee<\/a>, but it may be temporary as the repayment demand of short-term debt of Indian companies could soon exert pressure taking it to new lows. <\/p>\n

Foreign exchange reserves have dipped more than $20 billion from the peak in the past two months as the Reserve Bank of India<\/a> sold to stabilise the rupee. It is said to have sold another $20 billion in the forwards market as well. <\/p>\n

Indias short-term debt at $222 billion is more than half the total foreign exchange reserves. These are funds that Indian companies raised to take low interest rate advantage in the West. <\/p>\n

While some of them have hedged their positions and others have export income to pay for, many are exposed to the lower value of currency that could erode their profitability as well. <\/p>\n

The currency may slide to a low of 72 to the US dollar in the next few quarters as rising oil prices, slowing foreign portfolio flows and the demand for debt repayment put pressure. <\/p>\n

\u201cGiven that oil prices are rising and with a pick-up in import demand, we expect current account deficit to widen to 2.6 per cent of GDP,\u201d said Siddhartha Sanyal, chief India economist at Barclays<\/a>. \u201cWith FDI flows funding only part of the gap and uncertainties over FII inflows, we expect the rupee to touch 72 against the dollar by the end of 2018.\u201d <\/p>\n

Indian Rupee has been under pressure this year along with other emerging market currencies as the US Federal Reserve raises rates in its efforts to normalise the decade- old easy monetary policy. As leveraged funds begin to unwind their carry trade, EM currencies are facing pressure. <\/p>\n

Central banks of Indonesia and Turkey, along with India, have raised interest rates to arrest flight of capital. <\/p>\n

Indias foreign exchange reserves are at $406 billion. Rising import bill is already shrinking the import cover, too. Crude oil<\/a> prices have risen more than 90 per cent from its low touched two years ago. India imports more than three fourths of its oil needs. <\/p>\n

The RBI<\/a> has already sold $24 billion in both the spot and forward markets this fiscal. Yet the rupee has slipped 6 per cent against the dollar. It touched a life low of 69.09 last month. <\/p>\n

In the June quarter, foreign investors pulled out close to $ 7 billion or Rs 45,571 crore from the Indian markets. The reserves are now adequate to fund about nine months imports. Pressure of funding our current account deficit will likely push beyond Rs 70 by September, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cIf FPI flows do not revive by the December quarter, the RBI would then have to sell $20 billion to fund $65 billion current account deficit,\u201d said Indranil Sengupta of Bank of America Merrill Lynch. <\/p>\n
