NEW DELHI, Nov 7 (Reuters) - India's central bank should allow rupee to depreciate gradually and use foreign exchange reserves judiciously, the government's chief economic adviser V. Anantha Nageswaran on Monday. Nageswaran comment on the rupee and foreign exchange reserves is the first official government comment since concerns about dwindling currency reserves emerged earlier this year. India's foreign currency reserves have fallen from a peak of $642 billion to $531 billion partly due to dollar sales to support the rupee. “We should in the short-run allow the rupee to depreciate gradually and we should use forex exchange reserves judiciously,” Nageswaran said at an online event. “We should augment foreign exchange reserves and that will help with any contingencies,” he added.
