The Indian rupee fell below the 93 mark for the first time against the US dollar on Friday, 20 March, 2026. It opened and weakened further to the all time intraday low level, pressured by sustained selling from foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) and rising global trade tensions. The rupee has remained under stress since the beginning of 2026. In December 2025, it breached the 90-per-dollar mark for the first time. Within just less than 3 months of the new year, it has now breached the 93 mark, highlighting mounting pressure on the domestic currency.
