Rupee ekes out first quarterly gain in five on oil drop, policy salvo

The Indian rupee has recorded its first quarterly gain since March 2025, driven by a decline in oil prices and strategic policy measures aimed at attracting dollar inflows. This development is significant as it indicates a potential stabilization of the currency, which has been under pressure due to various economic factors. Analysts are optimistic about India's growth outlook, though demand from importers and central bank reserve strategies may temper further appreciation of the rupee.
