Indian Rupee Near Record Low: What Explains The Rupee's Slide | Vantage with Palki Sharma

The Indian rupee is sliding again — now hovering close to ₹89 per U.S. dollar, despite India being the world’s fastest-growing major economy. In May, it became Asia’s worst-performing currency, and since then the pressure has only mounted. What’s driving the fall? Short-term factors include Trump’s tariffs, foreign investor exits, and surging gold imports. But deeper structural challenges are also at play: shrinking exports, weaker remittance flows, and uncertainty in services, which make up over half of India’s GDP. The RBI is intervening to contain the slide, but global trade chaos and U.S. policy swings make recovery harder. Can India’s strong growth numbers shield the rupee — or is more turbulence ahead?
