The rupee declined to a low of 94.9650 per dollar, before paring losses to last trade at 94.9050, down 0.4 per cent on the day and tracking losses in regional peers.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday urged citizens and businesses to conserve fuel, which traders said has added to market caution regarding the spillovers from the ongoing conflict in West Asia.
