Dirham to Rupee — AED to INR Today
Compare today's dirham to Indian rupee exchange rate across all UAE providers. Exchange houses, digital apps, and banks — see which gives the most rupees for your dirham.
Rate data is checked periodically — always verify with your chosen provider before transferring.
AED to INR — What Moves the Rate
The UAE Dirham is pegged to the US Dollar at 3.6725 AED per USD. This peg does not change. So the AED to INR rate effectively tracks USD to INR — when the Indian Rupee weakens against the Dollar, your dirham buys more rupees. When the Rupee strengthens, you get fewer. Each provider (exchange house, app, bank) applies their own margin on top of this base rate.

How many rupees is 1 dirham today?
As of recently checked rates, 1 AED = approximately 22.7 to 23.2 Indian Rupees depending on the provider. The exact rate varies by provider and changes daily. For the latest rate, check remit.ae/aed-to-inr or visit your preferred exchange house directly. Always verify the rate when you are ready to send, not the day before.
Why is the dirham to rupee rate different at different places?
Every bank, exchange house, and remittance app sets its own exchange rate. They buy USD (since AED is pegged to USD at 3.6725) and sell it at a margin — that margin is how they make money. Digital providers like Wise and Remitly often have smaller margins than exchange houses, but exchange houses offer cash pickup which digital services don't. The difference between the best and worst rate across providers can be 0.5–1.5 INR per AED — on AED 1,000 that is INR 500–1,500 difference.
What time is the best time to send dirham to rupee?
For exchange houses (Al Ansari, LuLu), rates are updated in the morning and may be slightly better early in the week when markets are stable. For digital providers (Wise, Remitly), the rate refreshes continuously throughout the day. There is no guaranteed "best time" — the INR rate moves with USD/INR in global markets. Check on the day you plan to send, compare providers, and send when the rate is acceptable to you.
