Indian rupee weakened against US dollar on Monday, on increased demand for the greenback from importers and banks. Sentiments remained weak with data showing that India's retail inflation saw a marginal rise of 2.86% in March on account of increase in prices of food articles and fuel. Also, industrial growth fell to its lowest in 20 months in February, barely rising from a year ago as manufacturing contracted following muted consumer demand, and public investment slowed toward the fiscal year-end. However, sustained foreign fund inflows and positive opening in domestic equities supported the rupee and restricted the fall. On the global front, US dollar edged down on Monday the University of Michigan reported on Friday that US consumer sentiment was below expectations.
