The USD/INR is the quote for the US Dollar, the base currency, quoted against the Indian Rupee, the quote currency.
The INR is the legal tender of India but in official use by Bhutan and Nepal. It traces its origins to the 6th to 4th century BC, and India was one of the first countries to issue coins besides China and no longer existent Lydia. The original Rupee was a silver coin, but some texts mention gold, copper, and lead coins alongside silver coins.
India is an emerging market economy and the most populous economy globally, with ambitions to transition to a developed economy over the next 25 years. The Indian economy has many challenges to transform, including dated infrastructure, inefficient manufacturing, high unemployment, and poverty. Therefore, the Indian Rupee is one of the worst-valued national currencies against the US Dollar.
BRICS membership highlights the importance of India and the Indian Rupee globally. India is the Asian counterpart to China, aiming to offer Western economies an alternative for outsourcing and supply chain management. The USD/INR is a thinly traded currency pair and is not widely available at most online Forex brokers. India also has domestic restrictions on Forex trading.
