    Question

    Who designed the new Indian rupee symbol?

    A.

    D Uday Kumar

    B.

    Nandita Correa-Mehrotra

    C.

    Udit Raj Hitesh

    D.

    Padmashali

    Correct option is A

    The correct answer is: (A) D Uday Kumar

    The new Indian rupee symbol (₹) was designed by D Uday Kumar, an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay graduate, in 2010. The symbol was selected after a national competition and officially adopted by the Government of India in 2010 as the symbol for the Indian currency, reflecting the country's unique identity in the global economic landscape.

    • The design of the symbol combines elements of the Devanagari "र" (Ra) and the Latin "R" for "rupee," with a horizontal line on top, symbolizing the country's tricolor and the Indian flag.
