Is today's CAD/INR rate good or bad?
We compare today's live Canadian Dollar to Indian Rupee mid-market rate against its 30-day and 52-week trading range. When the rate is near the top of its recent range, CAD holders get more Indian Rupee per unit - a better time to convert. When it is near the bottom, you may want to watch and wait.
The Indian rupee tends to depreciate gradually against most major currencies over time. The Reserve Bank of India actively manages the pace. For timing, focus on the 30-day range rather than longer historical periods.

What is the CAD/INR exchange rate?
The CAD/INR rate tracks how many Indian Rupee one Canadian Dollar buys. The Canadian dollar - nicknamed the 'Loonie' - is closely tied to oil prices, since Canada is one of the world's largest energy exporters. Bank of Canada policy and US economic trends also influence CAD.
CAD is issued by the Bank of Canada (BOC) (ranked 8th globally - meaning it's the 8th most bought and sold currency in the world). INR is issued by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) (ranked 13th). Full CAD profile | Full INR profile

On a typical conversion, banks add 2-4% to this rate. The gap between the mid-market rate and what you actually receive is the real cost of converting - often larger than any flat fee.

Frequently asked questions
Is it better to use a card or withdraw cash for Indian Rupee?
For most travelers, a card with no foreign transaction fee is the simplest and cheapest option - provided you always choose to pay in Indian Rupee (the local currency) rather than Canadian Dollar. Choosing your home currency triggers Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC), which typically adds 3-5% on top. If you need cash, withdraw from ATMs in-country rather than exchanging at airports.
How much does it cost to send money between CAD and INR?
Costs vary widely. Banks typically charge a fixed fee ($15-50) plus a 2-4% markup on the exchange rate. Online services like Wise or Remitly often have lower fees and tighter spreads. The total cost includes both the fee and the exchange rate markup - always compare the final amount the recipient would get, not just the advertised fee or rate.

How this rate is calculated
We prefer a direct rate from our primary data source when one is available. If a direct quote is unavailable, we compute a cross-rate through a major intermediary currency (usually USD or EUR). When a rate is derived rather than directly quoted, we label it on the page. Full methodology.
