The Indian rupee appreciated by 47 paise against the dollar on September 3, 2026, driven by a surge in foreign currency liquidity.
The gains were primarily attributed to record inflows into Foreign Currency Non-Resident (FCNR) bank accounts, which bolstered the Reserve Bank of India's forex reserves.
This strengthening of the rupee reflects improved forex liquidity, providing the central bank with greater flexibility in managing currency volatility.
