However, the dollar gains against most major global currencies overseas limited the gains for the domestic unit.
A 7.5 per cent growth in industrial output in January
and selling of the American currency by exporters supported
the rupee, forex dealers said.
Yesterday, the rupee ended higher by 13 paise to close at 65.04 against the US currency on the back of foreign fund inflows after sharp gains in equity markets and weakness in the dollar against global currencies.
Meanwhile, the benchmark BSE Sensex rose 44.58 points, or 0.13 per cent, to 33,962.52 in early trade today.
