The Indian rupee was trading little changed on Friday as corporate dollar demand pushed the currency off the day's highs.
The South Asian currency was trading at 82.0625 against the dollar (22.36 against the UAE dirham) at 9.04am, UAE time — compared with 82.0725 (22.363 against the UAE dirham) in the previous session.

The currency had hit a near two-week high of 81.94 in early trades, and is on course to log its best week in over four months.
"Interestingly, the rupee has disregarded the trend of the dollar index and remains relatively stable," said a trader with a private bank.
That has largely to do with expectations that the Reserve Bank of India will cap the rupee's upside above 81.80, importer hedging and speculators staying at bay, the trader said.
Unless the rupee appreciates above 81.80 convincingly, "we can expect a rangebound market," he added.
