The Indian rupee fell to a record low of 95.33 per dollar on Thursday as renewed crude oil price gains to 2022 highs threatened India's inflation and growth balance. It pared losses to close at 94.91, flat month-on-month after an earlier rally to 92.40 in April.
India is a major net oil importer, so higher crude raises dollar demand for imports and weakens the rupee, which increases the cost of imported feed inputs and energy for buyers.
