The rupee rose in money market on Tuesday, a day after posting its biggest one-day drop in five-and-a-half months, as stocks pulled back from a slide.
At 10:57 a.m. (0527 GMT), the partially convertible rupee was at 48.80/81 per dollar, 0.3 percent higher than the previous close of 48.955/965.
Dealers said gains made by euro and pound sterling against the dollar underpinned sentiment.
"The rupee has risen because the euro and pound are up from where we left them yesterday," a dealer with a private sector bank said.
