“The recent depreciation of the Indian Rupee amid global geopolitical tensions highlights structural vulnerabilities in India’s external sector.”
Discuss the causes behind the rupee depreciation and critically examine its impact on the Indian economy. Suggest policy measures to ensure exchange rate stability.

Tips for your answer

  • Structure = Cause → Impact → Way Forward
  • Don’t mix points. First why rupee fell, then economic effects, then solutions — clean segmentation fetches marks.
  • Use 2–3 Sharp Data Points
  • Quote numbers like ₹92/$, ~80% oil import dependence, CAD % — shows analytical depth without overloading.
  • Add 1 Line of Balance (Critical Insight)
  • Mention “export gain vs inflation risk” — this evaluative angle is what separates average from top answers.
