NEW DELHI (Reuters) - The Reserve Bank of India will continue to take measures to curb volatility in the exchange rate, Governor Duvvuri Subbarao told reporters on Thursday, on the same day when the rupee fell to a record low of 65.56 per dollar.

The RBI does not target a specific level of the rupee, said the RBI governor, adding the current economic situation requires structural measures.
