About the INR to NPR Exchange Rate
The Indian Rupee (INR) and Nepali Rupee (NPR) share a unique relationship among world currencies. Nepal Rastra Bank maintains a fixed peg of 1 INR = 1.6 NPR, which has been in place for decades. This means the INR/NPR rate does not fluctuate daily like other currency pairs.
India is Nepal's largest trading partner, and millions of Nepalis work or conduct business across the border. The fixed peg simplifies cross-border transactions and supports the open border policy between the two nations. Indian Rupees are also widely accepted in many parts of Nepal, especially in border regions.
