Apart from that, Interest rate by FEDs has led to more pulling of global currency in dollars. Furthermore, the geopolitical crisis pertaining to Ukraine and Russia has impacted the global supply chains; leading to worldwide shortages of many raw materials and rate hikes.
Also, increase in crude oil prices has dealt a blow to india’s forex reserves as India imports close to 80 per cent of its crude oil requirements.
Apart from crude oil, India also imports 60 per cent of its oil that is used in the households. Thus, the price rise hurts consumers.

However, we must note that while the weakening of the rupee hurts imports; our exports benefit from the weakened rupee as they get more money at rupee-dollar exchange.
Hence, export oriented industries such as IT, Pharmaceuticals, and Textiles earn more.
Lastly, we must note that global trade is done in Dollars, hence India requires forex reserves to complete the trades smoothly.
