The demand for the US dollar would rise, leading to a depreciation of the Indian rupee. The demand for the Indian rupee would increase leading to an appreciation of the US dollar. The supply of the Indian rupee would rise leading to an appreciation of the Indian rupee. The supply of the US dollar would rise leading to an appreciation of the Indian rupee
