Mumbai: The rupee on Tuesday surged right paise to 83.09 in the opening session on the selling of the US dollar by bankers and exporters, dealers at the Foreign Exchange said.

The domestic unit was seen as positive due to a weak dollar against other world currencies and a rebounding equity market in early trade.

The rupee recorded intraday highs and lows at 83.05 and 83.12, respectively, the dealer added.
