Related Data

What is INR (Indian Rupee)?

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.

Key Facts

  • ISO code: INR
  • Symbol: โ‚น
  • Subunit: 100 paise = 1 rupee
  • Issued by: Reserve Bank of India (RBI)

What is SAR (Saudi Riyal)?

Pegged to the US Dollar at a fixed 3.75 SAR = 1 USD since 1986.

Key Facts

  • ISO code: SAR
  • Symbol: ๏ทผ
  • Subunit: 100 halalas = 1 riyal
  • Issued by: Saudi Central Bank (SAMA)

Why Does the INR/SAR Exchange Rate Change?

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

  • The USD peg itself - since SAR is fixed to the dollar at 3.75, INR/SAR moves almost in lockstep with INR/USD, scaled by that fixed ratio.
  • Everything that moves INR/USD (Fed policy, crude oil prices, FII flows, India's trade deficit, RBI intervention) therefore also moves INR/SAR.
  • Saudi Arabia's oil export revenue, which underpins its ability to defend the peg, historically not a real concern given the country's scale.
  • India-Saudi trade and remittances - Saudi Arabia hosts one of the largest Indian expatriate communities in the Gulf.
  • Saudi Vision 2030 economic diversification efforts, which don't affect the peg itself but shape the broader Saudi-India economic 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 Saudi Riyal pegged to the US Dollar?

Yes. Saudi Arabia has pegged the riyal at a fixed 3.75 SAR = 1 USD since 1986. Because of that, INR/SAR moves almost entirely in step with INR/USD - the INR to USD page covers most of what actually drives this rate.

Could Saudi Arabia change or drop the Riyal-Dollar peg?

It's a low-probability but real structural possibility - Gulf currency pegs aren't a law of nature, and other countries have adjusted theirs before. The Saudi peg has held since 1986 with no serious signals of change, but it isn't a permanent guarantee the way a physical constant would be.

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.
