The rupee fell 22 paise to close at 82.23 (provisional) against the US dollar on Wednesday, weighed down by a weak tone in local equity markets and disappointing domestic macroeconomic data.
The strength of the American currency in the overseas market and firm crude oil prices also put downside pressure on the rupee.
At the interbank foreign exchange, the domestic unit opened at 82.05 against the dollar, and finally settled at 82.23 (provisional), down 22 paise from its previous close.
During the day, the rupee touched a high of 82.05 and a low of 82.25 against the greenback.
