Economic policy, infrastructure and international security offer three useful revision angles for 12 October 2026. For Banking aspirants, the Reserve Bank of India’s latest foreign-exchange measures are particularly relevant. The RBI has introduced a special dollar facility for three public-sector oil marketing companies as crude prices rise and the rupee faces pressure. This is a good opportunity to distinguish foreign-exchange intervention from the repo rate and understand why expensive crude can affect India’s import bill, inflation and currency demand.
Infrastructure is another exam-friendly topic. On 11 October, the Prime Minister inaugurated, dedicated and laid the foundation stones for projects worth more than ₹13,000 crore in Chennai. The package spans metro rail, highways, railways, ports, petroleum and education—useful material for questions about public investment and transport connectivity.
For international relations and geography, developments around the Strait of Hormuz highlight the vulnerability of commercial shipping and energy supply routes. Meanwhile, the Global Innovation Index provides a way to connect research, technology output and economic competitiveness.
Exam strategy: Don’t memorise headlines in isolation. Link each event to its institution, purpose, location and wider economic or constitutional significance.
