The rupee rose by 16 paise to 62.28 against the dollar in early trade on Monday at the Interbank Foreign Exchange after the economy grew by a higher-than-expected 4.8 per cent in the September quarter.
Forex dealers said increased selling of the US currency by exporters, a higher opening in the domestic equity market and strengthening of euro and yen against the dollar overseas also supported the rupee.
