India's forex reserves fall by $3.05 bn to $699.74 bn; Gold reserves rise by $342 mn
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 12 (ANI): India's foreign exchange reserves (forex) witnessed a slip of USD 3.049 billion to USD 699.736 billion for the week ending July 4 amid the uncertain global trade environment, official data released by the Reserve Bank of India showed. In the preceding week, the country's forex reserves registered an uptick of USD 4.8 billion to USD 702.78 billion. In the week ending July 4, according to the RBI data, the major component of the forex reserves, the foreign currency assets, slipped USD 3.537 billion to USD 591.287 billion. Contrary to the dip in the previous week, the Gold reserves witnessed an uptick of USD 342 million to $84.846 billion in the week ending July 4, data suggests. A significant constituent of the forex, the Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) witnessed an uptick of USD 39 million, while the Reserve position in the International Monetary Fund (IMF) was up by USD 107 million to USD 4.735 billion, the data of the central bank suggests. Central banks worldwide are increasingly accumulating safe-haven gold in their foreign exchange reserves kitty, and India is no exception. The share of gold maintained by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in its foreign exchange reserves has almost doubled since 2021, till recently. In 2023, India added around USD 58 billion to its foreign exchange reserves, contrasting with a cumulative decline of USD 71 billion in 2022. In 2024, the reserves rose by a little over USD 20 billion, touching an all-time high of USD 704.885 billion at the end of September 2024. India's foreign exchange reserves (Forex) are sufficient to meet 11 months of the country's imports and about 96 per cent of external debt, said Governor Sanjay Malhotra while announcing the outcome of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) decisions. The RBI governor expressed confidence, stating that India's external sector is resilient and key external sector vulnerability indicators are improving. Foreign exchange reserves, or FX reserves, are assets held by a nation's central bank or monetary authority, primarily in reserve currencies such as the US Dollar, with smaller portions in the Euro, Japanese Yen, and Pound Sterling. The RBI often intervenes by managing liquidity, including selling dollars, to prevent steep Rupee depreciation. The RBI strategically buys dollars when the Rupee is strong and sells when it weakens.

Tata Steel executes first fully digital import transaction using e-Bill of Lading
Tata Steel completed its first paperless import transaction under a Letter of Credit, fully backed by digital processes, the company announced on Friday. The company carried out first digitized import shipment of coal using an Electronic Bill of Lading (eB/L) with full bank integration. In its efforts towards fully digitised and sustainable global trade, the company used eB/L for its coal import shipment from Queensland , Australia to Dhamra Port in Odisha , India. The transaction, backed by digital platform provider ICE Digital Trade's eBL solution, involved coordination between Tata Steel India, ICICI Bank , TS Global Procurement, and Standard Chartered Bank (Singapore). Electronic Bill of Lading (eB/L) is a digital version of the traditional paper document used in global shipping. Tata Steel aims to make its supply chain eco-friendly, as a step to fulfil its sustainability objective of achieving Net Zero by 2045. Live Events "This is a big step forward in making our supply chain smarter and more eco-friendly. By embracing eB/L, we are cutting through traditional bottlenecks and setting a new standard for how goods move globally. It reflects our commitment to building a supply chain that is not just efficient and secure, but also environmentally responsible," said Peeyush Gupta, Vice President - TQM, GSP & Supply Chain, Tata Steel. The digital transaction in imports and exports enables faster access to documents and higher compliance, the company said. 'This successful integration of banks and digital documentation marks a leap in trade finance. It enables faster access to documents, brings efficiency, and ensures higher compliance - everything a modern finance ecosystem needs," said Sandeep Bhattacharya, Vice President - Financial Control & Business Analytics, Tata Steel. By removing the need for physical courier services and paperwork, the new system significantly speeds up documentation and reduces risks. The company is taking several measures towards digitisation and environmental sustainability as it executed a blockchain-enabled, paperless trade transaction of steel export to a customer in UAE in 2021. Later in the year in November, the Company executed a blockchain-enabled paperless export order with a metals major in Bangladesh. Banks play a significant role in such transactions as overseas tech-enabled transactions pave the way for future foreign trade . 'The eB/L solution represents ICICI Bank's commitment to transform international trade through technology-driven innovation and strategic global partnerships, while adhering to industry-standard compliance. This is also part of our journey from Bank-to- Bank Tech—an evolution from a traditional bank to a tech-led Bank Tech institution," said Anubhuti Sanghai, Head of Transaction Banking, ICICI Bank. Digitisation of trade finance reduces timelines, eliminates risks and improves transparency in the process. 'The success of this landmark transaction marks a significant milestone in the digitisation of trade finance, significantly reducing timelines, eliminating risks and improving transparency. This achievement underscores our commitment to driving innovation and efficiency in global trade, while delivering greater speed, security and transparency to clients," said Maisie Chong, Global Head, Standard Chartered Bank. Tata Steel is working on more blockchain-based paperless transactions in geographies like Bangladesh, Europe, and the Middle East covering three different shipment modes - Road, Breakbulk, and Containers.
