Nov 2 (Reuters) - The Indian rupee was stronger in afternoon trade on Wednesday aided by the rise in local equities and the euro, although underlying sentiment was cautious given the uncertainty in Greece, traders said. * At 2:16 p.m., the partially convertible rupee was at 49.195/200 per dollar, stronger from Tuesday's close of 49.27/28 after trading in a band of 49.1550 to 49.4200 range so far in the day. * The euro edged up on Wednesday, rebounding from a three-week low against the dollar as investors took a breather from a deep sell-off, although it was vulnerable to the downside on jitters over Greece's referendum and weak data. * The euro was at $1.3768, compared with $1.3702 at the end of rupee trade on Tuesday, while the index of the dollar against six major currencies was at 76.965 points versus 77.273 points previously. * The local benchmark share index was up 0.4 percent but mood here too was cautious given worries over possible worsening of the euro zone debt crisis.
