India, Dec. 31 -- The Indian rupee slumped 5 per cent in 2025, weighed down by persistent capital outflows from foreign investors and elevated dollar demand from importers, emerging as Asia's worst-performing currency during the year.
On the final trading session of 2025, the rupee depreciated 13 paise to close at 89.88 (provisional) against the US dollar, as month-end demand and foreign portfolio investors' (FPIs) dollar buying kept the currency under pressure.
The domestic unit maintained a negative bias throughout the year, with FPIs pulling out about USD 16.5 billion from equities in 2025, further denting investor sentiment, according to forex traders.
