[edit] Purpose

To automatically convert and format currency from Indian Rupees (Rs.) to United States Dollars. (US$) for use on India-related articles on Wikipedia or wherever appropriate.

[edit] Usage

{{INRConvert|rupee_value|currency_formatting}}

Note

Indian Rupee currencies should be input in conventional standarized form. The template will only accept numerical values (ie. no pre-formatted text such as {{INRConvert|1,500}}). Inputs with non-standard representation will produce non-standard formatting results.

Additionally, the currency_formatting parameter will accept the following values (these values are not case sensitive):

  • m (million)
  • b (billion)
  • t (trillion)
  • l (lakh)
  • c (crore)

{{INRConvert}} will also accept argument formats from the Indian numbering system and present them in their international equivalent scale.

Refer to the "Examples" section for examples on the use of the currency_formatting parameter.
Foreign Exchange Data Source
This template will always aim to convert Indian Rupees at current Dollar prices. Source data for INR > USD rates is obtained from Bloomberg online.
