Rupee vs Dollar: The rupee is continuously falling against the US dollar. Today, on Wednesday, January 21, the Indian Rupee weakened further and reached its lowest level ever. In early trade it fell by 23 paise to reach 91.20 against the US dollar. That means now you will have to spend Rs 91.20 to buy one dollar. This is a new all-time low.
A day before this, i.e. on Tuesday, the rupee had already fallen by 7 paise and closed at an all-time low of 90.97. This continuous decline in rupee against dollar has increased the concern of investors.
increasing pressure on rupee
On one hand, foreign investors are leaving the Indian stock market. On the other hand, there is pressure due to the pending trade deal between India and America. In view of these difficult circumstances, importers somehow feel that the rupee will fall further. In such a situation, they are keeping the dollars as reserve with themselves. Due to this the demand for dollars is increasing among them. The cautious environment regarding risks in the market is responsible for this new fall in the rupee.
The situation is such that in the year 2025, the rupee had fallen by 5 percent. At the same time, the first month of the new year has not even ended and the rupee has fallen by 1.5 percent.
Apart from this, higher imports than exports are also putting pressure on the rupee because when we import any goods, we pay for them in dollars. All these together are making the rupee weak.
Disadvantages of falling rupee
The fall in rupee is not considered good for the economy because there is a possibility of inflation increasing due to it. Its effect can be seen on everything from petroleum products to electronics goods. India imports maximum crude oil, about 80 percent.
Apart from this, it also imports parts of mobile phones and other electronic items from other countries. In such a situation, if the rupee falls, there will be more expenditure on the dollar. This will make imports expensive. When imports become expensive, the prices of petrol and diesel will increase in the country. This will increase transportation and logistics costs. Due to this, imported goods will also become expensive, therefore, to control inflation, it is necessary to stop the fall in the rupee.
