Muscat – The financial resilience of the Omani Rial(RO) continues to provide a significant boost to the vast Indian expatriate community residing in the Sultanate. With the exchange rate hitting 236.05 Indian Rupees to the Rial as of December 15, 2025, the elevated value of the RO offers a substantial increase in the purchasing power of remittances sent home.
This favourable trend coincides with market predictions, noted in recent reports, indicating that the Indian Rupee is set to continue drifting lower amid ongoing Foreign Portfolio Investor (FPI) activity. For thousands of Indian families dependent on funds from Oman, this sustained currency divergence translates directly into higher savings and greater financial stability back in India, effectively mitigating the impact of local inflationary pressures and solidifying the Sultanate’s position as a lucrative base for overseas employment.
