Rupee falls to lowest since early April 2003

The rupee fell to its lowest since April 2003 early on Monday in anticipation of more capital outflows with Asian shares falling, but dollar
sales by state-run banks probably on behalf of central bank curbed a further drop.

At 9:19 a.m. (0349 GMT), the partially convertible rupee was at 47.30/32 per dollar, compared with Friday's close of 47.0750/0850. In early trade, it hit 47.45, its lowest since April 2003.
