About US Dollar (USD)
The United States Dollar (USD) is the world's primary reserve currency and the single most traded currency in global foreign exchange markets. Issued by the Federal Reserve System since 1913, it anchors the DXY (U.S. Dollar Index) and sits on one side of roughly 88% of all forex transactions.

- •Primary invoicing currency for global oil, metals, and most commodities
- •Dollar-denominated debt issued outside the US exceeds $13 trillion

About Indian Rupee (INR)
The Indian Rupee (INR) is the official currency of India, serving over 1.4 billion people. Managed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) under a flexible inflation-targeting regime, INR has a structural depreciation bias against USD driven by persistent trade deficits and oil imports.
- •Issued by the Reserve Bank of India, founded in 1935
- •The ₹ symbol was officially adopted in 2010
- •India is the world's third-largest oil importer
- •RBI targets CPI inflation at 4% (±2%)
- •India's GDP is the world's fifth-largest by nominal output
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the Indian Rupee keep weakening versus the Dollar?
USD/INR has a structural upward drift driven by India's persistent trade deficit (India imports 85%+ of its oil), high inflation relative to the US, and limited capital-account openness. RBI smooths the move but rarely fights the trend outright.
When does the RBI intervene in USD/INR?
The Reserve Bank of India actively manages USD/INR volatility rather than defending a specific level. You'll see RBI selling USD when INR is under pressure (to slow the depreciation) and buying USD when capital flows into Indian equities are strong.
Do foreign equity flows move USD/INR?
Yes, significantly. Foreign Portfolio Investment (FPI) inflows into Indian stocks strengthen INR; outflows weaken it. Monthly FPI data published by NSDL is one of the most reliable INR signals. Budget announcements (February each year) can also trigger sharp FPI shifts.
How do oil prices affect the Indian Rupee?
India imports over 85% of its crude oil, so higher Brent prices widen India's import bill and weaken INR. A $10 sustained move in Brent typically translates to 50–80 paise of INR depreciation over subsequent weeks.
What is the best way to send USD to India?
For pure rate, the mid-market USD/INR shown above is the benchmark. Actual transfer costs depend on the provider — direct-bank wires carry higher markups than fintech transfers (Wise, Remitly, InstaRem). Always compare the total delivered INR amount, not just the advertised "fee".
