The Indian rupee's significant weakening in 2025, making it Asia's worst-performing currency, is impacting Indian households through increased costs for cooking oil, foreign education, and travel, alongside reduced savings returns. Despite strong GDP growth and healthy forex reserves, the rupee's decline is attributed to factors like import inflation, RBI's focus on volatility management, foreign investor withdrawals, and stalled trade talks. The currency's future may be influenced by global sentiment over domestic fundamentals.
