Q: How does the RBI affect the INR/USD rate?

The Reserve Bank of India intervenes in the forex market to manage INR volatility — buying USD when the rupee strengthens too fast, and selling USD from reserves when the rupee weakens sharply. The RBI does not target a specific INR/USD level, but aims to prevent excessive volatility. India's $600+ billion forex reserve buffer gives the RBI significant capacity to smooth out rate movements.
