Center Monitoring Rupee Fall Amid Global Challenges

Added: 2026-05-26

[00:00:00]Can you explain the current account deficit right now? We are monitoring the situation.

[00:00:05]All the various arms of government are working as a team.

[00:00:10]Several steps are under consideration.

[00:00:14]The situation is globally quite challenging, but we have the confidence and the courage of conviction that we'll come out winners even in this challenging time. Sir, is there any plan to cut down non-essential imports?

[00:00:31]No such plans have been talked about but I have here of course made an appeal to all the citizens of India to be more conscious about their spending on products which are import dependent. And I think it's just very natural that every Indian who trusts Prime Minister Modi has taken cognizance of that and is helping the country in every small or big way with their own actions. And I'm really proud of every Indian who has taken Prime Minister Modi's appeal to heart and is contributing to nation building.

[00:01:16]Sir, anything on the non-essential imports also, sir?

[00:01:24]Well, when we launched it if you recall, we had said that the first round of talks will happen in the second half of 2026.

[00:01:32]So, we will have it as scheduled.
