The rupee closed at a new all-time low of 83.39 per dollar on November 30 amid a stronger dollar index and higher crude prices. It was the worst performer among Asian currencies in November, the only one to depreciate, while the dollar index fell about 4% that month.
Persistent dollar demand from importers was cited as the main cause.
Importer dollar demand and a weaker rupee raise the landed cost of imported feed ingredients in India. The currency gap against regional peers also weighs on Indian import competitiveness.
