About INR to LKR
The Indian Rupee (INR) is the currency of India. The rate on this page is the Central Bank of Sri Lanka's daily indicative rate: the number of Sri Lankan rupees for 1 INR, published once each business day. When the number rises, the rupee has weakened against the Indian Rupee; when it falls, the rupee has strengthened.

- On 11 Nov 2026 the Central Bank of Sri Lanka's indicative rate was 3.5381 rupees for 1 Indian Rupee. It is a reference rate; banks buy INR below it and sell above it.
- Is the rupee getting stronger or weaker against the Indian Rupee?
- Over the past year the rate has gone from 3.4329 to 3.5381, so the rupee is 3.1% weaker against the Indian Rupee. Over the last 52 weeks it ranged from 3.3210 to 3.5703.

- Since May 2010, the highest indicative rate was 4.7363 on 9 May 2022 and the lowest was 1.9330 on 29 Aug 2013.
- Why is my bank's INR rate different?
- Banks quote a buying rate (what they pay you for INR) and a selling rate (what they charge you) either side of the indicative rate, and the gap differs by bank and by whether it is a telegraphic transfer, cash or a draft. Check the bank's own rates before you transact.
