The Indian rupee touched an all-time low of ₹90.41 per U.S. dollar on December 4, 2025, continuing its downward trend this year. Analysts cite three primary reasons for the 4 % decline in 2025: persistent foreign institutional investor (FII) outflows, a widening trade deficit driven by high imports—especially gold—and limited intervention by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Delays in a potential India–US trade deal have also contributed to reduced dollar inflows. The depreciation raises concerns about rising import costs, inflationary pressures, and economic uncertainty for businesses and consumers.
