India: USD exchange rate

The currency chart for India shows historical data for the Indian Rupees per USD exchange rate. These are monthly averages and not end-of-month currency values. An increase means depreciation against the USD as one can exchange more Indian Rupees per USD. Depreciation implies that goods from India become cheaper to export and it becomes cheaper for foreigners to visit India.
