Exchange Rate in India
The Indian rupee depreciated continually against the U.S. dollar over the last decade. This trend was influenced by India's large trade deficits, global geopolitical uncertainty, and persistently higher inflation than in the U.S. The Reserve Bank of India intervened on occasion to stem the swings in the currency.
The exchange rate ended 2022 at INR 82.14 per USD, compared to the end-2021 value of INR 75.86 per USD and the figure a decade earlier of INR 59.95 per USD. For more exchange rate information, visit our dedicated page.
