Indian Rupee Hits Historic Low Against US Dollar Amid Market Volatility

New Delhi. The Indian Rupee has fallen to a historic low of 91.73 against the US Dollar. Due to continuous demand for the dollar and caution in the global market, the Rupee depreciated by 76 paise in early trade, reaching its weakest level ever.

Previously, the Rupee had hit a record low of 91.14 on December 16, 2025, and the local currency's value has already dropped by 1.50 percent this month alone. According to foreign exchange dealers, hawkish policies in the United States and growing geopolitical uncertainty have increased risk aversion among investors, putting pressure on emerging market currencies.

Furthermore, the slowdown in the domestic stock market due to capital flight by foreigners has further weakened investor sentiment.
