India Explores Measures to Attract Dollar Inflows Amid Rupee Depreciation and Rising Oil Prices

India's rupee has fallen to a record low amid rising oil prices driven by the Iran conflict and capital outflows, prompting the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to explore measures to attract dollar inflows. Options under consideration include reviving a deposit scheme for non-resident Indians and removing withholding tax on overseas government bond investors. The rupee's depreciation is increasing imported inflation, affecting household expenses despite no direct dollar spending. No final decisions have been made, with consultations ongoing between RBI and the government.
