FinMin carefully watching rupee movement: Economic Affairs Secretary

The government, along with the regulator, is carefully watching the rupee, which has slipped below the 90 mark against the US dollar, and may take measures once the situation becomes uncomfortable, Economic Affairs Secretary Anuradha Thakur said on Monday. "Anything above 90, everyone starts talking about it. Even, we start watching it carefully. It is a question of flows, and we are impacted by that," he told PTI in an interview. However, she said, a depreciating rupee does have a certain value in terms of export competitiveness whenever it happens. "We are watching together with regulators and other stakeholders. We will see how to handle it if a situation more than uncomfortable happens," she said. According to the Economic Survey 2025-26, the rupee depreciated by around 6.5 per cent between 1 April 2025 and January 22, 2026, making it one of the weakest-performing currencies in this period. Its fall was comparable to that of the Japanese yen, which lost about 5.5 per cent, and

Rupee at 92/USD: Imports, overseas education, travel hurt; exporters gain

The rupee hitting a historic low of 92 against the US dollar on January 23 is likely to make imports ranging from crude oil to electronic goods, overseas education and foreign travel costlier, stoke inflation concerns, but may offer some relief to exporters. The local currency has slumped by 202 paise, or over 2 per cent, so far this month. In 2025, it had plunged 5 per cent on unabated foreign fund outflows and dollar strength. The immediate impact of a depreciating rupee is on importers who will have to shell out more for the same quantity and price. India is 85 per cent dependent on foreign oil to meet its needs for fuels, such as petrol, diesel and jet fuel. However, it is a relief for the Indian exporters as they receive more rupees in exchange for dollars. Here is how a continuously weakening rupee is likely to impact spending: IMPORTS: The basket of Indian imports includes crude oil, coal, plastic material, chemicals, electronic goods, vegetable oil, fertiliser, machinery,
