What is the HKD/INR exchange rate?
The HKD/INR rate tracks how many Indian Rupee one Hong Kong Dollar buys. The Indian rupee serves the world's most populous country. INR pairs reflect Reserve Bank of India policy, oil import costs, and foreign investment flows into India's fast-growing economy.
HKD is issued by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) (ranked 9th globally - meaning it's the 9th most bought and sold currency in the world). INR is issued by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) (ranked 13th). Full HKD profile | Full INR profile

Is today's HKD/INR rate good or bad?
The Hong Kong Dollar to Indian Rupee mid-market rate shown above is the reference price before any provider adds fees or markup. It is not a guaranteed quote - your bank, card issuer, or transfer service will offer a different rate that includes their margin.
On a typical conversion, banks add 0.5-1.5% 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. Because HKD/INR is a pegged or near-pegged rate, the bank's exchange rate risk is minimal - but they still charge for the service. Focus on fees rather than timing.

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 Hong Kong 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.
Why does HKD/INR barely move?
The Hong Kong Dollar is pegged to the US Dollar within a narrow band of 7.75-7.85, maintained by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority since 1983. This linked exchange rate system means USD/HKD moves very little compared to free-floating pairs. For other currencies against HKD, the peg means the rate closely mirrors the USD rate.
How much does it cost to send money between HKD 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.
