New Delhi [India], July 2 (ANI): India's foreign exchange reserves rose by $2.734 billion to $593.323 billion during the week that ended on June 24, the Reserve Bank of India's weekly data showed.

In the preceding week that ended on June 17, the reserves slumped by $5.87 billion to $590.588 billion as foreign portfolio investors pulled money out of the Indian equities amid mounting concerns of global recession.
The country's forex reserves had dropped for the third consecutive week, before rising last week, on account of RBI's likely intervention in the market to defend depreciating rupee.
