New Delhi April 25 There is a flip side to the appreciating rupee, which went below Rs 41 to a dollar on Wednesday. Indian oil companies, for example, would see 7 to 8 per cent lower rupee outgo on their purchases in the international market.

They apprehend that the competitiveness of exports might suffer more, if the rupee were to further strengthen in the coming days.
