The rupee is facing more headwinds from the outlook for a weaker yuan.
The relationship between the yuan and the rupee has climbed to the highest level since May 2023.
The rupee has fallen about 0.3% this month, while the yuan has declined about 0.7%, adding to the competitive pressure on the rupee.
The Reserve Bank of India may be comfortable with some amount of rupee depreciation to maintain competitiveness if other Asian currencies are also depreciating.
