The rupee fell even lower on Monday, closing at 77.44, after breaking the previous low of 77.05 earlier in the session, as the dollar's rally sliced across markets.

According to PTI, the Indian rupee fell 54 paise to a new record low of 77.44 versus the US dollar, down from 76.90.

The rupee began down versus the greenback on the interbank foreign currency market, at 77.17, and fell to a lifetime low of 77.52 throughout the trading day.
