India's external debt rises to $736 billion, 19.1% of GDP, says RBI
India's external debt rose to $736.3 billion, or 19.1 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP), at the end of March 2025 from $668.8 billion, or 18.5 per cent of GDP, a year ago. In a statement, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) said the valuation effect due to the appreciation of the US dollar vis-à-vis the Indian rupee and other currencies amounted to $5.3 billion. Excluding the valuation effect, external debt would have increased by $72.9 billion instead of $67.5 billion at the end of March 2025 over the end of March 2024. The long-term debt (with original maturity of above one year) at end-March 2025 was placed at $601.9 billion, an increase of $60.6 billion over its level at end-March 2024. The share of short-term debt (with original maturity of up to one year) in total external debt declined to 18.3 per cent at end-March 2025 from 19.1 per cent at end-March 2024. However, the ratio of short-term debt (original maturity) to foreign exchange reserves increased to 20.1 per cent at the end of FY25 from 19.7 per cent at the end of FY24. US dollar-denominated debt remained the largest component of India's external debt, with a share of 54.2 per cent at end-March 2025. This was followed by debt denominated in the Indian rupee (31.1 per cent), yen (6.2 per cent), Special Drawing Rights (4.6 per cent), and euro (3.2 per cent). Loans remained the largest component of external debt, with a share of 34 per cent, followed by currency and deposits (22.8 per cent), trade credit and advances (17.8 per cent), and debt securities (17.7 per cent).

Tesla CEO Elon Musk responds to Bill Clinton's ‘message' to Indian-origin NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has responded to former US President Bill Clinton 's congratulatory message to Zohran Mamdani , the Indian-origin democratic socialist who recently won the Democratic primary for New York City mayor. Clinton recently shared a post on X (formerly Twitter), writing: 'Congratulations @ZohranKMamdani on your victory in yesterday's primary election and a well-run campaign.' He further wished him 'success in November and beyond', referring to 2025 New York City mayoral election – scheduled to occur on November 4. Musk's replied to the post with a 'Thinking Face' emoji, expressing his surprise on social media over Clinton's support. The tech billionaire's response comes after he distanced himself from active political roles after stepping down from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). "Congratulations @ZohranKMamdani on your victory in yesterday's primary election and a well-run campaign. I'm wishing you much success in November and beyond as you work to bring New Yorkers together to tackle the city's challenges and shape a stronger, fairer future," Clinton wrote on X. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it better to shower in the morning or at night? Here's what a microbiologist says CNA Read More Undo Who is Zohran Mamdani Zohran K. Mamdani is a 33-year-old Democratic socialist and New York State Assembly member, representing parts of Queens — Astoria and Long Island City. Born in Kampala, Uganda, he moved to New York at age 7. He attended Bronx High School of Science and earned a degree in Africana Studies from Bowdoin College. Before entering politics in 2020, Mamdani worked as a housing counselor and briefly released rap music under the name 'Young Cardamom'. Mamdani's background as a housing counselor and organizer, combined with his district's high rent burden (nearly 25% of residents spend half their income on rent per NYC data), highlights a grassroots appeal that contrasts with Clinton's establishment support, potentially fueling Musk's implied critique of Democratic shift.
