The rupee tumbled 54 paise to close at 74.98 (provisional) against the U.S. dollar on October 6 as a stronger greenback against key rivals and rising crude oil prices weighed on investor sentiment.
At the interbank foreign exchange market, the local currency opened at 74.63 and witnessed an intra-day high of 74.54 and a low of 74.99 against the U.S. dollar in day trade.
The local unit finally settled at 74.98 a dollar, down 54 paise over its previous close.
