RBI measures lift rupee to 95.17 per dollar
In short
The Indian rupee opened at 95.17 per US dollar, up 60 paise from 95.77. Publisher summaries said it later traded at 95.27 after the RBI announced new steps to reduce dollar demand.
This matters because a stronger rupee can ease pressure on import costs and markets. It is still not clear how durable the RBI support will be.
