The RBI also introduced a foreign exchange risk reserve which will involve banks maintaining with the central bank - in cash - an amount equal to 20% of the rupee equivalent of the notional amount of each transaction which exceeds $2 million, it said.

RBI reported movement of 20%. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.
