Rupee recovers from record low against US dollar in early deals on Thursday
Apr-02-2026

The Indian rupee recovered from its record low against the US dollar in early deals on Thursday, following strict new regulations from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) that barred authorized dealer banks from offering non-deliverable forward (NDF) contracts involving the rupee to both residents and non-residents to prevent offshore speculation. The RBI had earlier, on March 27, capped the net open position that banks can hold overnight at $100 million, effective April 10, 2026, in a bid to curb speculative positions and stabilise the currency. Rupee also got some support with the government data showing GST revenues grew about 9% in March, scaling to the pre-tax cut level of over Rs 2 lakh crore, the third highest monthly collection in the 2025-26 fiscal, buoyed by mop-ups from imports as well as domestic sales and purchases. 

The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 93.25, stronger by 145 paise from its previous close of 94.70 on Monday. The currency touched a high and low of 94.63 and 93.14 respectively.
