Well, this is not something that can be answered in a single sentence. But to give an overall picture without getting into the deeper details, the reason would be:

"Exchange Rate is nothing but the price of a Currency in the International Market. If the demand for the dollar is higher than its supply, the Rupee should depreciate. If it is the other way round, it should appreciate"

The Key reason for this would be the global economic scenario. The economic situation, world over is very volatile. People are worried about the safety of their investments. Because of risk aversion on the part of people, US Dollar regained its place as a Safe Haven. People still believe that the US Dollar is much safer than any other currency in the world and hence are accumulating the US Dollar. This effectively means that, the demand for the Dollar is going up which essentially means the price of other currencies (Exchange Rate) may be affected.

What is rupee appreciation and rupee depreciation?

Rupee is the Indian currency. Just like any commodity the Rupee also has a price, the value you pay to exchange a rupee. The US Dollar being the predominant currency, all prices of currencies are generally quoted in Dollars. Hence in case of the Rupee, its price at any point in time maybe say, Rs.45/$ (determined through various aspects such as forex reserves, FDI inflows, rate of interests and so on). With the change of the indicators the value of the rupee as per the dollar changes. When the rupee becomes dearer i.e. say Rs.40/$ it is said to have Appreciated (Value) in the reverse case say Rs.50/$ then the Rupee Depreciates (Value). Rupee changes values for a range of reasons, like if US performs very well then people will demand more US dollars, exchanging their rupee. This Demand will raise the price of the US dollar and hence depreciate the Indian Rupee.
