Importance of the OMR
OMR or the Omani Riyal is one of the most strongest and successful currencies in the world. Omani Riyal is the national currency of the Sultanate of Oman and is issued by the National Bank of the region. One of the major reasons behind the currency's popularity is its divisibility by 1000 baisa. This factor not only increases its value but also makes it one of the most expensive currencies across the globe. The availability of oil reserves in the region, and its global export market plays a major role in keeping the OMR stable and valuable.
Introduction to the Omani Riyal
It was in 1973 that the region of Oman got a national currency of its own. Before 1973, the region didn't have any regional currency of its own, rather they used currencies like Indian Rupee and Maria Theresa Thaler. However, with a change in power, when the popular ruler Sultan Qaboos Bin took over the throne, the OMR was introduced. Later, a national bank was also established for the flow and issuance of the same. Currently, the value of Oman is pegged to USD which keeps it stable. Since 1986, its value has been fixed, making $2.6 equal to 1 Omani Riyal. However, following the daily exchanges, the exchange rate of OMR to other currencies keeps fluctuating.
Factors that affect the exchange of the OMR to INR
Omani Riyal has been pegged to the US Dollar at a fixed rate of 2.5 USD per OMR. So, there is no chance of any upcoming changes to this rate. However, for other currencies like INR, the exchange rate of OMR is likely to change every now and then depending on various factors involved. As of today, the exchange rate of OMR to INR is INR 213.09/OMR.
Oil prices majorly affect the economy and overall international presence of Oman and its currency. The global market of oil and the major export markets of Omani oil production heavily manipulate the value of OMR. This is one reason why Oman is also looking for alternate international trade products to cut its dependence on oil production. Apart from this, the global value of USD is also likely to impact the value of OMR since it is pegged to the US Dollar.

OMR and INR Overview
It was back in 1964 when the oil reserves were discovered in Oman and since then, the value of Oman has kept advancing. OMR is currently pegged to the USD at 2.5 USD/OMR. Being one of the highly valued currencies, Omani Riyal has also gone through several changes and currently, the currency is issued in both banknotes and coins. On the other hand, Indian National Rupee has also undergone major changes with demonetisation being the most recent change.
