MUMBAI - India's foreign exchange reserves were at $693.62 billion as of Aug. 8, up $4.75 billion from the previous week, data released by the Reserve Bank of India Friday showed.

The dollar index, which measures the strength of the dollar against a basket of six major currencies, fell 0.4% in the week ended Aug. 8. Calculated in dollar terms, the central bank's foreign exchange reserves also reflect the impact of appreciation or depreciation of currencies other than the dollar, such as the euro, the pound sterling, and the yen, held by the RBI.

Foreign currency assets as of Aug. 8 were at $583.98 billion, up $2.37 billion. The value of the central bank's gold holdings rose $2.16 billion from the previous week to $86.16 billion. End
