Current account deficit widens to $6.2 billion in Jun: RBI data
India's current account deficit expanded to $6.2 billion in June 2026, up from a surplus of $1.2 billion a year earlier. This shift was mainly due to a widening merchandise trade deficit, which increased to $30.2 billion from $19.2 billion in June 2025. The Reserve Bank of India released this preliminary data, highlighting ongoing economic challenges.
