Rupee Decline: Who Benefits and What Indian Stocks Are Saying in 2025

The rupee’s slide is back in focus, and traders are racing to read who benefits. A softer INR can lift exports, attract value-seeking capital, and even nudge tourism, but it also fans import-led inflation ^[1].

Currency impact on exports and inflation A weaker rupee makes Indian goods cheaper abroad, potentially boosting exports and drawing foreign investment ^[1]. Imports get pricier, feeding inflation and higher consumer bills ^[1]. Some see it as a wash; others worry about the trade deficit and debt service ^[1].
