In ‘91 when faced with an external account crisis, we let the rupee sharply depreciate (counter-intuitive to status quo-ists and a bitter pill). This let our exports become competitive (though at that time we had the added low hanging fruit of opening up the capital account). It set the stage for our IT revolution. We still sing praises about those reforms to this day. Maybe borrow a little from that playbook?
The long term answer to this may just be full INR convertibility.
We have put severe restrictions on allowing domestic capital to chase returns abroad. This has in turn created low quality large caps which have still been rewarded with rich PE multiples (and hence no incentive to innovate) because domestic capital had no option.
