The Reserve Bank of India is actively monitoring currency markets as global tensions and oil price volatility put pressure on the rupee.

Officials indicated that the central bank is ready to intervene if excessive volatility occurs. Rising crude prices and foreign investor caution have increased demand for the dollar, impacting emerging market currencies including India’s.

Economists say sustained pressure could affect inflation and import costs, especially in fuel-dependent sectors.
