The US government is concerned that energy demand in India could weaken the rupee. The Reserve Bank of India has sought to increase the leadership of the Indian currency in the global market by capitalizing on progress in consumption.

State producers to tie up with oil exporters:

Three major state producers - Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum Corporation and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation - are close to oil supply exceeding demand for rupee. However, sellers are experiencing difficulties due to financial risks and concerns about exchange rates.
