One question. One truth.
“Why is the Indian rupee weakening against the dollar?”
Rising crude oil prices driven by escalating West Asia tensions have increased India's dollar demand for imports, causing the Indian rupee to weaken sharply against the US dollar, breaching 91 per dollar on March 2, 2026.

CURRENT STATE
The rupee has depreciated from 90.80 to over 92 per dollar in four days, with intraday lows reaching 91.47 on March 2 and 92.2270 on March 3. Concurrently, global risk-off sentiment has driven investors to safe-haven US dollars, intensifying capital outflows from India.
