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 USD (US Dollar)?

The world's primary reserve currency - most international trade and commodities (including the crude oil India imports) are invoiced in dollars.

Key Facts

  • ISO code: USD
  • Symbol: $
  • Subunit: 100 cents = 1 dollar
  • Issued by: Federal Reserve System, as Federal Reserve Notes

Why Does the INR/USD Exchange Rate Change?

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

  • US Federal Reserve interest rate decisions - a Fed rate hike tends to pull global capital into dollar assets, weakening the rupee; a cut tends to do the reverse.
  • Crude oil prices - India imports most of the oil it uses, priced in dollars, so a pricier barrel means more dollars leaving the country and pressure on the rupee.
  • Foreign institutional investor (FII) flows - money moving into or out of Indian stocks and bonds shifts dollar demand directly.
  • India's trade deficit - when imports outpace exports, more dollars flow out than in, which weighs on the rupee.
  • RBI intervention - the Reserve Bank occasionally buys or sells dollars from India's foreign exchange reserves to smooth an unusually sharp single-day move, without fixing the rate at any level.
  • Domestic inflation - when prices rise faster in India than in the US, the rupee's purchasing power (and its exchange value) erodes relative to the dollar.
  • Global risk sentiment - during periods of global uncertainty, investors often move money into the dollar as a safe-haven currency, which weakens the rupee and most other emerging-market currencies at the same time.
  • US economic data and the dollar index (DXY) - strong US jobs or inflation data that broadly strengthens the dollar moves INR/USD the same direction it moves nearly every other currency pair, not just the rupee.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Indian Rupee pegged to the US Dollar?

No. INR floats - its value is set by market supply and demand, not fixed by the government or the RBI. That's different from currencies like the UAE Dirham or Saudi Riyal, which are formally pegged to the dollar at a fixed rate.

How does the RBI influence the INR/USD rate?

The RBI doesn't fix the rupee's rate; it floats based on market supply and demand. The central bank steps in only occasionally, buying or selling dollars from India's foreign exchange reserves, to smooth an unusually sharp single-day swing rather than to hold the rupee at a specific level. It separately publishes its own daily Reference Rate, used mainly for customs and accounting, not for open-market trading.

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.
