Updated: December 4, 2025 9:14 PM

The Indian rupee has crashed to a new all-time low — 90.43 against the US dollar — continuing its fall for the 7th straight session.

But this isn’t just a headline.

This fall is already hitting your fuel prices, monthly EMIs, grocery bills, and even foreign education costs.


In this explainer, we break down:


🔍 What pushed the rupee beyond 90?

• Failed India–US trade talks

• US tariffs rising up to 50%

• $17 billion foreign investor exit

• RBI’s major shift to a “crawl-like” regime


🔥 How this fall affects YOU:

• Petrol, LPG & cooking oil prices

• Higher cost of electronics & appliances

• Foreign education becoming ₹5–10 lakh costlier

• EMIs & savings squeezed for middle-class families


📉 Why this fall is different from past rupee crises

• Dollar is stable — rupee is falling alone

• India’s forex reserves are strong, but RBI is letting it float

• Long-term vs short-term pain
