RBI Likely Intervenes in Forex Market to Support Rupee Amid Contract Maturities
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) likely intervened in the foreign exchange market on Wednesday to support the rupee amid downward pressure from maturing non-deliverable forward contracts.

The rupee traded modestly higher at 95.27 after an intra-day low of 95.5625.
