Understanding the pair
In GBP/INR the British Pound is the base currency and the Indian Rupee is the quote currency. The rate tells you how many INR one GBP buys, so a rising GBP/INR means the British Pound is strengthening against the Indian Rupee.
GBP/INR is an exotic pair: it combines a major currency with that of a smaller or emerging economy, so spreads, swap costs and the size of sudden moves are typically larger than for the majors.
Prices are quoted to 3 decimal places here. One pip is 0.0001, so on a standard lot of 100,000 GBP a one-pip move is worth 10 INR — use the pip calculator to convert that into your account currency.
Liquidity in GBP/INR is usually deepest when both home markets are open — the London (08:00–17:00 London time) and Tokyo (09:00–18:00 Tokyo time) sessions. See live session times on the market hours clock.
Sterling is among the most traded currencies, and London is the largest foreign-exchange trading centre. Bank of England rate decisions and UK inflation data are key event risks.
Central bank: Bank of England
The rupee is not fully convertible on the capital account and the RBI is an active participant in the market. Residents of India may trade currency derivatives only on recognised Indian exchanges in permitted INR pairs — see our guide to forex rules in India.
Central bank: Reserve Bank of India
GBP/INR shows how many Indian Rupee (INR) one British Pound (GBP) buys. GBP is the base currency and INR is the quote currency. If the rate rises, the British Pound has strengthened against the Indian Rupee.
No. It is derived from the euro foreign exchange reference rates published by the European Central Bank once per working day around 16:00 CET. It is useful for reference, budgeting and calculator inputs, but it is not an executable trading quote — a broker's bid and ask will differ.
By convention one pip in GBP/INR is 0.0001 because the pair is quoted in INR. On a standard lot of 100,000 GBP, a one-pip move is worth 10 INR. Brokers may quote an extra decimal (a pipette).
Liquidity is typically deepest when both home markets are open: the London (08:00–17:00 London time) and Tokyo (09:00–18:00 Tokyo time) sessions, and especially where they overlap.
