India enhances financial support to Maldives, underscoring deepening alliance

India has allocated $69 million (1 billion Maldivian rufiyaa) in aid to the Maldives for the 2025-2026 fiscal year, up from $54 million (833 million rufiyaa) the previous year, making it the second-largest share of India's $250 million foreign aid budget after Nepal. The increased support comes as the Maldives faces debt obligations, with India having earlier subscribed a $50 million treasury bill to help avert a potential default.
