The rupee weakened to 91.81 per US dollar, slipping past its previous record low of 91.74 hit a day earlier, and ended about 0.2% lower on the session. The currency had opened stronger at 91.43, but the momentum quickly reversed as buying interest in the dollar resurfaced.
So far this year, the rupee has depreciated 5.3% against the US dollar, putting it on course for its steepest annual fall since 2022, according to Reuters data.
