The Yuan's stability and rupee's slide against the dollar, has opened new windows of opportunity for Indian Exporters.

Indian rupee fell 20 percent, the previous year, while Yuan rose 2.4 percent, thus making Indian exporters the most preferred lot, as opposed to the Chinese.

According to some leading business sites, the rupee will further weaken, to 53 per dollar this year. And as per the leading economic strategist associated with HSBC bank, The Reserve bank Of India may support a weak currency in an endeavor to push and promote Asia's third-biggest economy.

India's goods exports, which account for about 20 percent of gross domestic product, plummeted 22 percent in February as compared to the previous year, the worst since 1995, as per the Commerce Ministry report released on April 1. China's fell 26 percent, according to Chinese customs data.

Recently, the situation had turned out to be immensely bad for our neighbors, prompting them to source cheaper parts from India, with a view to exports goods at a competent rate.
