Why does this matter? Because faster dollar inflows mean stronger rupee, better forex reserves, and less pressure on inflation. Exporters who invoice or settle in rupees also got a boost; their deadline is now 12 months instead of 18. Smart move? Probably. Tough for small exporters? Maybe. But the bigger picture is clear: RBI’s playing chess, not checkers, to keep India’s economy steady. If you’re in trade or finance, this isn’t just policy; it’s a signal to adapt. And fast.
