Rupee strengthens 11 paise to close at 85.68 against US dollar as RBI surprises with jumbo rate cut
Moreover, a surge in the domestic markets supported the rupee at lower levels with both the indices settling with gains of over 1 per cent. Forex traders said the rupee traded on a flat-to-positive note as the RBI surprised the market with a jumbo rate cut. Besides, the rate cut supported by a phased 100 basis points CRR reduction will lower the borrowing costs and boost growth. Mumbai, Jun 6 (PTI) The rupee pared initial losses and appreciated 11 paise to close at 85.68 against the US dollar on Friday, after the Reserve Bank cut repo rate by a higher-than-expected 50 basis points to prop up growth. At the interbank foreign exchange, the domestic unit witnessed heavy volatility. It opened at 85.91, registering a fall of 12 paise over its previous close. But soon pared the losses and saw an early high of 85.66 against the greenback. During Friday's trade, the rupee also saw an intra-day low of 86 and finally settled for the day at 85.68, up 11 paise over its previous close. Dilip Parmar, Senior Research Analyst, HDFC Securities, said, 'The rupee led the pack among Asian currencies, buoyed by the RBI's surprise 50 basis point rate cut. This decisive, growth-driven policy move provided a significant boost to the local currency and fuelled optimism among domestic equity investors.' However, a resurgent dollar index and weakening regional currencies could cap further gains for the rupee, he said. 'From a technical perspective, USD-INR finds support at 85.20 and faces resistance at 86.10.' On Thursday, the rupee snapped its two-day losing streak and closed 8 paise higher at 85.79 against the US dollar. The RBI slashed interest rate by 50 basis points on Friday, a third consecutive reduction, and unexpectedly reduced the cash reserve ratio (CRR) for banks to provide a major liquidity fillip to support the economy amid geopolitical and tariff headwinds. The central bank retained GDP growth projection for the current fiscal at 6.5 per cent. It also changed its monetary policy stance to 'neutral' from 'accommodative', with Malhotra saying further action will depend on incoming data. 'The RBI policy decision was pre-emptive and precise. The surprise CRR cut of 100bps despite a significantly high surplus liquidity signals a strong intent to fast-track transmission while the change in stance back to neutral reflects possible pause on future rate cuts,' Anurag Mittal, Head of Fixed Income at UTI AMC, said. Meanwhile, the dollar index, which gauges the greenback's strength against a basket of six currencies, was trading higher by 0.25 per cent at 98.98. Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, fell 0.26 per cent to USD 65.17 per barrel in futures trade. 'Any further rate cut by the RBI may also pressurise the rupee. However, a positive tone in the domestic markets may support the domestic currency at lower levels. Investors may now focus on the non-farm payrolls report from the US. USD-INR spot price is expected to trade in a range of 85.40 to 86.25,' said Anuj Choudhary – Research Analyst at Mirae Asset Sharekhan. On the domestic equity market front, the 30-share benchmark index Sensex recovered the initial lost ground and closed 746.95 points, or 0.92 per cent higher at 82,188.99, while the Nifty settled 252.15 points or 1.02 per cent up at 25,003.05. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) purchased equities worth Rs 1,009.71 crore on a net basis on Friday, according to exchange data.

India's next mega aquarium coming soon to Hyderabad's Nehru Zoo
Hyderabad is all set to welcome one of India's largest and most immersive public aquariums within the Nehru Zoological Park (NZP). With a tunnel-like walk-through in the future, this INR 50 crore initiative seeks to redefine how tourists experience marine diversity in the very heart of Telangana. Spanning approximately 4,000 square metre, the new aquarium isn't simply another tank-lined museum. The highlight will be a tunnel walk-through attraction, providing the experience of walking under a water dome amid lively aquatic creatures. This interactive feature is intended to generate interest in ocean systems. Hyderabad currently boasts 15 small aquarium tanks with both freshwater and marine creatures, but none of them are as large or technologically sophisticated as envisaged for this new aquarium. As officials promise, this aquarium will take the world-class experience right to the center of the city and plans to be one of the top spots for fun as well as education. What makes this project unique in nature is its association with international marine specialists. Top companies from Singapore and Australia will join hands with Indian engineers and designers. This collaboration is certain to provide a world-class aquatic center, including specially designed climate control, lighting, and filtration systems that maintain the health and longevity of marine life. Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esse novo alarme com câmera é quase gratuito em Novo Hamburgo (consulte o preço) Alarmes Undo The layout will take cues from model aquariums such as the Aquatic Gallery at Ahmedabad's Science City and Marine World in Thrissur, Kerala. Although those aquariums are spread over larger spaces, Hyderabad's project will focus on a compact yet engaging model. The new aquarium is going to be a living classroom. Students from schools, marine biology students, and wildlife professionals will educate visitors on aquatic ecosystems, ecological sustainability, and conservation practices. From the glistening Amazonian arowana to the vibrant African cichlids and ghastly deep-sea fish, the aquarium will have an incredible variety of species from Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Officials state that the center will also be divided into thematic regions, possibly symbolizing various aquatic ecosystems like rivers, lakes, coral reefs, and deep seas. All of the regions will include digital information boards, augmented reality equipment, and guided tours for better understanding. This large aquarium is a tourist destination, but it's also a strategic investment in Hyderabad's eco-tourism infrastructure. The Nehru Zoological Park has more than 1,500 animals and vast stretches of greenery. The aquarium will be another draw for the zoo, offering an air-conditioned option for hot summer and rainy-day skies. Presently, the proposal awaits clearance from the Central Zoo Authority, a stepping stone to any such large-scale zoological development in India. After it gets cleared, detailed blueprints and timelines will be prepared, and the project work is expected to be over by 2026. The entire development is being carried out under a public-private partnership model so that it is long-term and is done with international standards. What's next for Nehru Zoological Park? Interestingly, the aquarium is just one of the new ventures in the works. Nehru Zoological Park is also upgrading its enclosures for wildlife. A new tiger enclosure constructed of bulletproof glass is on the cards, with INR 2 crore already approved. This 50-meter-wide enclosure will provide guests with a close-up view of tigers in complete safety. One step to a healthier you—join Times Health+ Yoga and feel the change
