The Indian rupee today plunged by six paise at 48.14 against the US currency in early trade on increased $ demand from importers and a strong American unit in the overseas market.

At the Interbank Foreign Exchange (forex) market, the domestic currency lost six paise to quote at 48.14 over previous close of 48.08/09.

Forex dealers said heavy $ demand from importers and strengthening $ against major currencies mainly led to the fall in rupee.
