New symbol for Indian Rupee

The Indian Rupee gets a symbol designed by D Udaya Kumar, an IIT Post Graduate. It is bold, clean, fusion of Devanagari and Roman script and reflecting the young driven India.

Visual features of the new symbol is based on the "Tricolour" and “Arithmetic Equivalence”. The white space between the two horizontal lines gives the impression of the national flag with the Ashok Chakra and the two bold parallel lines stand for ‘equals to’, representing balance in the economy, both within and with other economies of the world.

The rupee currently uses the symbol of “Rs.”, “Re.” and “INR” in the international markets. The Indian government will introduce the symbol soon and expects that in two years, the symbol will be in regular use.


A Proud Moment For All Indians!
