India's central bank says it will sell US dollars to three state-run oil firms as it looks to stem the decline in the Indian rupee.
印度洋行将向三大国有炼油企业出售美元以期阻止卢比的贬值。
It said the sales would help to meet the "entire daily dollar requirements" of the three firms. According to some estimates, they import about $300m worth of oil daily.
The rupee bounced back from its record low, rising 2.5% against the US dollar.
The Indian currency is one of the worst performers in the world this year.
It has declined more than 20% against the US dollar since the start of 2013.
Global oil contracts are mostly settled in US dollars. As a result, Indian oil firms need to sell rupees to buy US dollars to pay for the imports.
The central bank's swap1 window is expected to take the bulk of their dollar demand away from the foreign-exchange market and help to stem the decline in the rupee.
However, some analysts2 said the central bank's move was unlikely to result in a sustained recovery in the currency.
