The rupee was little changed on Wednesday after opening slightly higher versus the dollar as a strengthening greenback countered gains from portfolio inflows to local markets.
The currency was trading at 78.7125, which was at the same level as its close on Tuesday. It did however pop to a 78.68 at the open.
