India Debt Crisis: India’s external debt has reached a record $762.8 billion. But does that mean the country is heading towards another 1991-style Balance of Payments crisis?

In this episode of The Indian Express, we look beyond the headline number to understand what India’s external debt really means in 2026. How does today’s debt situation compare with the crisis of 1991? Why is India’s debt-to-GDP ratio much lower today? And why does the $326.9 billion in external liabilities due for repayment or refinancing within the next 12 months matter?

The bigger concern may not be sovereign insolvency, but the changing nature of India’s external liabilities — rising short-term debt, private-sector borrowing, currency mismatches and refinancing risks.

So, is India financially safe? And where could the vulnerabilities emerge if global markets face another major shock?
