Forex dealers said besides dollar strengthening against other currencies overseas, fresh demand for the American unit from importers put pressure on the rupee.

The domestic currency had gained three paise to end at 63.52 against the greenback on Monday on persistent selling of dollars by banks and exporters on hopes of resumption of foreign capital inflows.

Meanwhile, the benchmark BSE Sensex rose 109.61 points or 0.39% to 27,839.82 in early trade on Tuesday.
