Forecasting exchange rates, especially 13 months in advance, involves significant uncertainty and relies on analyzing the expected monetary policies and economic performance of both the Eurozone and India.
Based on current trends and economic expectations for December 2025, here is a general analysis of the Euro to Indian Rupee (EUR/INR) forecast.
π EUR to INR Forecast: December 2025 Outlook
As of late 2024, most institutional forecasts suggest that the EUR/INR exchange rate will likely remain within a relatively tight, high band, potentially seeing a slight appreciation of the Rupee over the Euro by the end of 2025.
While specific numbers vary widely, the general consensus among many forecasters places the EUR/INR exchange rate range for December 2025 between:
The current rate is approximately INR 103.19. This suggests a period of relative stability, with the potential for the Rupee to slightly strengthen if the Eurozone economy continues to struggle.
Modeled EUR/INR Exchange Rate Trajectory (Mid-Market Rate)
This table illustrates the central consensus forecast, suggesting a slight potential strengthening of the Rupee (i.e., the EUR/INR rate gradually decreases) towards the end of the year, driven by India’s superior economic growth.

Key Factors Driving the Forecast
The movement of the EUR/INR pair is driven by the relative strengths and weaknesses of the two economies and their central banks (ECB and RBI).
1. Eurozone Weakness (A Drag on the Euro)
The key factor pressuring the Euro is the weak growth outlook for the Eurozone, particularly Germany.
- Growth Concerns: Continued stagnation in core Eurozone economies may limit the upside for the Euro.
- ECB Policy: If inflation is successfully contained, the European Central Bank (ECB) may start cutting interest rates towards the end of 2025 to stimulate growth. Rate cuts weaken a currency.
2. Indian Economic Strength (Support for the Rupee)
The key factor supporting the Rupee is the strong, stable outlook for the Indian economy.
- Robust Growth: India is projected to remain one of the fastest-growing major economies in the world. This consistent performance attracts foreign investment (FDI and FII), which increases demand for the Rupee.
- RBI Intervention: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is known for its active role in preventing excessive Rupee volatility. They often step in to buy/sell the Rupee to keep it relatively stable, typically managing it near certain levels against the US Dollar, which indirectly stabilizes the EUR/INR cross.
- Current Account Balance: Improved export performance and stable oil prices (India’s biggest import) could help manage the current account deficit, lending support to the INR.
3. Global US Dollar Influence (The Anchor)
The US Dollar (USD) remains the benchmark currency.
- The EUR/INR movement is often a calculation of (EUR/USD) * (USD/INR).
- If the US Federal Reserve maintains higher interest rates for longer than the ECB, the USD strengthens, often making the EUR weaker and the INR weaker, but the net effect on EUR/INR is mixed and highly dependent on which currency (Euro or Rupee) is relatively weaker against the Dollar.
Conclusion
For December 2025, the balance of risk suggests that the Rupee has a better chance of appreciating slightly against the Euro due to India’s superior growth trajectory compared to the Eurozone’s struggles. However, the RBI’s stabilization policy is expected to prevent any massive, rapid shifts.
If you are planning a large transfer, setting up rate alerts with a service like Wise or Remitly is the best strategy, as short-term market volatility can create better execution points than a long-term forecast.
