Mumbai, October 8: The rupee tumbled to its lowest since July 2002 on Wednesday, weighed down by world stock market turmoil and foreign fund withdrawals.

By 12:02 p.m., the partially convertible rupee was at 48.75/79 per dollar, its lowest since July 30, 2002 and 1.7 percent weaker than 47.915/93 at close on Tuesday.

India's main share index slumped more than 7 percent, taking it below 11,000 points for the first time in over two years, as panic gripped investors after overseas markets tanked on concerns of a looming global recession.
