Usually, depreciation of local currency makes exports more competitive, but experts say this may not be the true scenario in the present situation.
In recent years, a weaker rupee has not translated into major gains for Indian exports due to several structural and global factors, says Ajay Sahai, director general and CEO, Federation of Indian Export Organisation (FIEO).
