RBI Deputy Governor B.P. Kanungo said the rupee's 2018 slide to near 75 per dollar was driven by capital-flow volatility and risk aversion, not a change in fundamentals.

The RBI's stated limits on defending the rupee suggest currency volatility may persist, which keeps the cost of dollar-priced feed imports uncertain for Indian buyers.
