India's foreign exchange reserve touched an all-time high of $426.42 billion after an increase of $4.215 billion in the week ended 21 June, RBI data showed. In the week before, there was a $1.358 billion decline to $422.2 billion.
Earlier in the week to 13 April 2018, forex reserves had scaled a record high of $426.028 billion.
The rise in reserves was on account of increase in foreign currency asset, which is a major component of the overall foreign exchange reserves.

Foreign currency assets, that are expressed in dollar terms include the effect of appreciation/depreciation of non-US units like the euro, pound and yen held in the reserves.
