  • Issued by: Reserve Bank of India (RBI)

What is QAR (Qatari Riyal)?

Key Facts

  • ISO code: QAR
  • Symbol: ๏ทผ
  • Subunit: 100 dirhams = 1 riyal
  • Issued by: Qatar Central Bank

Why Does the INR/QAR Exchange Rate Change?

The INR/QAR rate moves every trading day, driven mainly by:

  • The USD peg itself - QAR has held near 3.64 to the dollar since 2001, so INR/QAR moves almost in lockstep with INR/USD, scaled by that ratio.
  • Everything that moves INR/USD (Fed policy, crude oil and gas prices, FII flows, India's trade deficit, RBI intervention) therefore also moves INR/QAR.
  • Qatar's natural gas export revenue (Qatar is one of the world's largest LNG exporters), which underpins its ability to defend the peg.
  • India-Qatar trade and remittances - Qatar hosts a large Indian expatriate workforce, and India is a major buyer of Qatari LNG.
  • Regional Gulf political developments, which don't move the peg itself but shape the broader relationship.
  • RBI intervention and rupee-side factors - since the peg holds, essentially all of this pair's real movement traces back to the rupee side.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Qatari Riyal pegged to the US Dollar?

Yes, it has held near a fixed 3.64 QAR = 1 USD since 2001. Because of that, INR/QAR moves almost entirely in step with INR/USD - the INR to USD page covers most of what actually drives this rate.

Why does Qatar peg its currency instead of letting it float?

Like most Gulf oil and gas exporters, Qatar sells the large majority of its exports in dollars, so pegging the riyal to the dollar removes exchange rate uncertainty from its single biggest revenue stream and keeps import costs predictable for a heavily import-reliant economy.

Is this the bank rate or forex rate?

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.

How often is the rate updated?

Once a day, refreshed at 7:00 AM IST from the Frankfurter API.

Where do these rates come from?

Frankfurter (frankfurter.dev), a free exchange-rate API that blends official reference rates from multiple central banks rather than relying on a single source.

Can I use this rate for an actual currency conversion?

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.
