The rupee is one of Asia's worst performers, having fallen over 5% against the dollar year-to-date, as steep U.S. tariffs of up to 50% on Indian goods crimp exports to its biggest market, taking the sheen off its equities for foreign investors.
The currency hit an all-time low of 90.29 against the dollar on Wednesday, before closing at 90.19, down nearly 0.4% on the day. The rupee's decline from 85 to 90 took a little under a year, or less than half the time it took to fall from 80 to 85.
I went a bit too early to say the rupee had hit all time high on Tuesday, which it did and another ATH came on Tuesday. Now that Ruppe is trading at about 90, I'm proud to have only a few in cash in my pocket.
But I also suspect whether the dollar is getting stronger in reality!

I thought they had 8% growth!? Why is the rupee sliding. I guess USA trade policy is crushing the currency
reply
They obviously had 8% growth. However that came on the back of tax rate cuts on both direct and indirect, and also it was a very good and long festival and wedding season here. Consumers have been enthusiastic in the last quarter. I'm not very sure if this growth rate will hold for longer. Yes you're right USA trade policy has had a say in crusghing it but not completely.

Why the change in foreign direct investment?
Is India’s regulatory regime somehow getting even worse?
reply
No not getting worse. Instead the regime does not want to over rely on it — as they have been sharing with public.

I was in India around 20 years ago and it was around 1 USD to around 45.
reply
Yes, it was below 70 just a few years ago. I think the next dead currency against dollar will be ruppeee
