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,
