What is the role of RBI in forex?

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) plays a crucial role in the foreign exchange (forex) market by regulating and managing the country's forex reserves, ensuring stability in the currency exchange rates. It formulates and implements policies related to foreign exchange under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), 1999. Additionally, the RBI acts as the custodian of India's foreign exchange reserves, intervenes in the forex market to curb excessive volatility, and facilitates external trade and payments. Through these actions, the RBI aims to maintain the overall stability of the Indian economy.
