The Indian rupee appreciated 44 paise to 79.30 against the US dollar (21.6 versus the dirham) in the opening trade on Wednesday, mainly on account of foreign fund inflows.
Besides, a positive opening in the Indian equities amid moderating inflationary pressures boosted investor sentiments, according to forex dealers.
