The Indian rupee gained 10 paise to 81.96 against the US dollar (22.33 versus the UAE dirham) in early trade on Wednesday, tracking the weakness of the American currency in the overseas market.
Forex traders said significant foreign fund inflows and easing crude oil prices supported the rupee.
At the Indian interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened at 82.06 against the dollar and then rose to 81.96, registering a gain of 10 paise over its previous close.
On Wednesday, the rupee closed at 82.06 against the US currency. Traders said investors were cautious as they awaited inflation data from the US expected later in the day.
