The rupee edged lower, now at 53.27/28 vs 52.95 intraday low, though still below Wednesday's close at 53.85.
Traders say only about $2.5 billion-$3 billion would need to be converted by exporters over the next two weeks, after the RBI's measures, far below what traders had initially feared.

Dealer tips 52.90-53.40/45 range for session.
