MUMBAI (Reuters) - India's benchmark 10-year government bond yield rose to 9 percent on Monday afternoon as the rupee continued to make a series of record lows as the government's measures were seen as inadequate to halt the free-fall in the currency.
The benchmark 10-year bond yield was trading at 9 percent, up 12 basis points on the day at 12:32 p.m., its highest level since November 15, 2011.
The partially convertible rupee was trading at 62.61/62 per dollar, after hitting a record low of 62.6250. (Reporting by Swati Bhat; Editing by Anupama Dwivedi)
