USD to INR 2026 Forecasts

Analysis of recent dollar → rupee forecasts for 2026. We collate forecasts from respected FX analysts together with the latest US dollar to Indian rupee performance and trends.

 

USD/INR Outlook:

Slightly positive, but likely to move sideways as the rate is above its recent average but lacks a clear driver.

Key drivers:

  • Rate gap: The Federal Reserve has maintained interest rates steady, while the Reserve Bank of India is dealing with a wider current account deficit, leading to diverging monetary policies.
  • Risk/commodities: Volatile oil prices are a concern for India, impacting the rupee as the country relies heavily on crude oil imports.
  • One macro factor: India's manufacturing export growth is slowing down, further pressuring the INR amid global demand challenges.

Range:

Expect the USD/INR to hold within its recent 3-month trading range.

What could change it:

  • Upside risk: A significant improvement in U.S. labor market data could boost the dollar further.
  • Downside risk: Increased foreign portfolio investment outflows from India, driven by global market conditions, may weigh on the rupee.
