Using the current exchange rate of 61.07 rupees per U.S. dollar, one rupee crore is about comparable to $163,720 as of 2014. The south Asian numbering system equates a crore to 10 million.
In the south Asian numbering system, which is used in the Hindi, Urdu, Nepali, and Bengali languages, there are two distinct numerals. In addition to the crore, the lakh is equal to one hundred thousand, so one crore is equal to 100 lakh.
The numbering system for writing billions and trillions differs slightly from Western norms. One crore is written as “1,00,00,000” instead of “10,000,000.”
