The Indian rupee declined to its weakest level in over two months on Tuesday, hit by outflows from local equities, while traders turned their focus to the Reserve Bank of India's monetary policy decision on Wednesday where a hike is widely anticipated.
Dollar sales from state-run banks, most likely on behalf of the RBI, helped limit the rupee's fall. The currency ended the session at 96.42, down 0.1% from its previous close.
