In the recent past, there has been lot of apprehensions on the weakening of our currency, and rightly so. For a perspective on the extent of weakening of INR, over the past few decades, it depreciates on an average 2.5% to 3% per year against the U.S. Dollar.

We as a growing economy import a lot, higher than our exports, and to manage this, our currency depreciates. The issue in the recent past has been that in 2025-26, INR moved from 85.53 to the greenback on March 31, 2025 to 92.76 on March 30, 2026 i.e. a depreciation of 8.45%. If we look at the intermediate low point of 94.71 on March 23, 2026, till that point of time, our currency had depreciated 10.73%. How does this impact you?
