The government was close to default and its foreign exchange reserves had dried up to the point that India could barely finance three weeks’ worth of imports. As in 1966, India faced high inflation and large government budget deficits.This led the government to devalue the rupee. At the end of 1991, the Indian Rupee was devalued considerably.
