This INR to JPY rate is sourced from the Frankfurter exchange rate API, which aggregates reference rates from central banks and financial data providers. Rates on this page are refreshed daily and reflect the mid-market exchange rate (the midpoint between buy and sell prices), rather than the retail rate offered at a bank or currency exchange counter.
Use the calculator above to convert any amount both ways: enter a value in either the INR box or the Japanese Yen (JPY) box to see the live conversion instantly.
A managed float, not pegged to any other currency - the RBI lets the market set its value but occasionally buys or sells dollars to smooth out sharp swings.
After decades of near-zero interest rates, the yen has long been a 'funding currency' for carry trades - investors borrowing cheaply in yen to invest in higher-yielding currencies elsewhere - which makes it react sharply whenever BOJ policy shifts.
The INR/JPY rate moves every trading day, driven mainly by:
Japan kept interest rates near zero for decades, which made the yen a cheap currency to borrow for investing elsewhere (the 'carry trade'). Any sign the Bank of Japan will raise rates threatens to unwind that trade at scale, which is why yen moves can be sharper than other major currencies' reactions to similar news.
Yes - the yen trades at a much larger numerical rate per unit of foreign currency than most currencies on this list, simply because of how it's denominated, not because it's a 'weaker' currency in any deeper sense. Use the converter above for the exact figure.
It's the mid-market rate, the midpoint between the buy and sell price on the global currency market, with no margin added. Banks, forex counters and card networks add their own markup on top, so the rate you're actually charged when exchanging cash or paying by card abroad will differ, usually by 1 to 4 percent in their favor.
Once a day, refreshed at 7:00 AM IST from the Frankfurter API.
Frankfurter (frankfurter.dev), a free exchange-rate API that blends official reference rates from multiple central banks rather than relying on a single source.
Use it as a reference for roughly what you should be getting, not as the exact rate you'll receive. An actual transaction, a bank transfer, cash exchange, or a card payment abroad, goes through your bank or exchange provider's own rate, which includes their margin and any transaction fees.
