The rupee weakened by 30 paise at 61.93 to the dollar against the previous close of 61.63 on fresh dollar demand from banks and importers.
On Tuesday, the domestic unit strengthened due to large inflows from a telecom company and dollar selling by foreign banks.
Abhishek Goenka, Founder and CEO, India Forex Advisors, said since the past three consecutive sessions, it has been observed that the rupee opens on a weak note but ends the day on a strong note.
According to dealers, the expectation that RBI may wind down the special forex swap window for oil marketing companies will weigh on the rupee.
