18 May 2026 Indian Rupee falls record low as RO1 exceeds 250 INR By OUR CORRESPONDENT

Muscat – The Indian rupee has experienced an unprecedented decline in value, establishing a new record low in global currency markets. Official tracking data compiled on May 18 revealed that RO1 now equals 250.28 INR.

This sharp downturn follows a previous period of instability earlier in the year when the exchange value initially exceeded the 240 rupee threshold, signalling extended vulnerability for the currency on the international stage. For the hundreds of thousands of Indian nationals residing in Oman, this shift represents a golden opportunity for fund transfers.
