The Indian rupee strengthened against the U.S. dollar on Thursday.
The local currency had appreciated by 5 paise to open at 81.95 against the greenback. Soon after, it gave up all its earlier gains to weaken against the U.S. dollar after the Reserve Bank of India's Monetary Policy Committee kept policy rates unchanged.

It closed at 82 on Wednesday.
