US Dollar to Indian Rupee exchange rate history
What moves the Indian Rupee rate
The Indian rupee is managed by the Reserve Bank of India, which smooths volatility through intervention. Oil prices (India is a big importer), foreign-investment flows and remittances from the vast Indian diaspora drive the rate.
About the US Dollar
The US Dollar (USD, $) is the world's primary reserve currency and the de facto reference rate for most African remittance pricing. It is issued by the Federal Reserve System and subdivided into 100 cents. For African routes, the USD plays two distinct roles: as the on-the-wire settlement currency that originating remittance providers use to hedge between markets, and as the unit of account that diaspora senders most often think in. When operators quote a USD-to-local-currency rate, the difference between that rate and the interbank mid-market — the spread — is where most of the route's cost is hidden, often dwarfing the visible send fee. For receivers in countries with thin USD interbank markets such as Sierra Leone or Mozambique, the published rate can lag the interbank reference by several percentage points.
About the Indian Rupee
The Indian Rupee (INR, ₹) is issued by the Reserve Bank of India and is subdivided into 100 paise. India is one of Africa's largest trading partners — bilateral trade is on the order of $100 billion a year, having roughly doubled over five years — so the rupee is a genuine trade currency across the continent, not just a remittance unit. South Africa is India's single largest African trade partner, followed by Nigeria, Egypt, Kenya and others; the goods range from pharmaceuticals and refined petroleum to vehicles, machinery and agricultural products. The rupee also matters to the large Indian-origin communities in Southern and East Africa — well over a million people of Indian descent in South Africa, with significant populations in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Mauritius — who move money and price goods in both directions. Direct INR/Africa interbank quotes are limited, so most rates are computed through the US dollar.
