The facility was introduced to encourage foreign currency inflows.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>The central bank said on Friday that the concessional swap facility had attracted $56.84 billion as of August 13.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>At the interbank foreign exchange market, rupee opened at 95.50 on Monday before slipping further to 95.59. <!-- -->The domestic currency had closed at 95.42 against the US dollar on Friday, gaining 3 paise.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>CR Forex Advisors MD- Amit Pabari said the inflows attracted through the facility had provided significant support to rupee, but the market could start looking beyond this temporary support.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>&#8220;After attracting nearly $50 billion of forex inflows, the central bank has now announced that the facility will be available only for deposits mobilized until August 31, 2026. The support from these inflows remains significant, but the market will eventually begin looking beyond this temporary cushion,&#8221; CR Forex Advisors MD- Amit Pabari said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>Pabari said rupee could continue to find support in the near term, although the risk-reward remained tilted towards weakness.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>&#8220;Technically, the 95.20\u201395.30 zone is likely to act as an important support area. As long as this level holds, USD\/INR could gradually move towards the 96.20\u201396.50 region in the coming days,&#8221; he said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>Under the FCNR (B) scheme, banks offer attractive interest rates to mobilise foreign currency deposits.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>Meanwhile, the dollar index was at 99.54, down 0.12 per cent. Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, rose 0.47 per cent to $88.94 per barrel in futures trade.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/>Domestic equities also opened lower, with Sensex declining 284.85 points to 77,717.05 and Nifty falling 69.25 points to 24,297.05.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/>Foreign institutional investors remained net buyers of Indian equities on Friday, purchasing shares worth Rs 508.12 crore, according to exchange data.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"34\"\/>India&#8217;s foreign exchange reserves also strengthened sharply in the latest reporting week. The reserves increased $14.136 billion to $707.002 billion in the week ended August 7, the RBI said on Friday.
