SOURCE EVIDENCE

"Ten years ago, the rupee was around 67 to the dollar; today it is around 95-96. If your child's US education is fifteen years away, a rupee corpus has to outrun that depreciation (assuming it continues in future too) just to stay on track. A GIFT City policy eliminates that treadmill— you save in dollars for a goal that is priced in dollars."
