This INR to LKR 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 Sri Lankan Rupee (LKR) 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.
A free float since 2022, adopted during Sri Lanka's economic crisis and IMF bailout - before that it was a managed/pegged regime for decades.
The INR/LKR rate moves every trading day, driven mainly by:
Sri Lanka moved to a fully free-floating exchange rate in 2022 during its economic crisis and sovereign debt default, replacing a managed rate that had been artificially held stable for years beforehand - the rupee depreciated sharply once it was allowed to reflect real market conditions.
No. It's been a free float since 2022, so its value is set by market supply and demand like the Indian Rupee, not fixed to the dollar or any other currency.
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.
