It moved in a range of 52.72 per dollar and 53.00 per dollar during the morning deals.
In New York, the dollar gained against the euro last Friday after Spain's bank stress tests showed that the nation's financial institutions' capital needs matched analysts' expectations, relieving some fears that banks would need more aid.
Meanwhile, the BSE benchmark Sensex moved up by 14 points or 0.08 per cent, to 18,777.11 at 1100 hours.
