Crore to Million Converter
Convert crore to million and million to crore when Indian figures need to be read, reported or compared internationally.
1 crore = 10 million
1 Crore = 10 Million
A crore is 10,000,000 and a million is 1,000,000, so a crore is ten times larger. To convert, shift the decimal point one place: 2.5 crore is 25 million, and 50 million is 5 crore. The number of zeros is the same in either system. Only the names and comma positions differ.

Worked Example: Reporting Indian Revenue Abroad
An Indian company's annual report shows revenue of ₹2,345 crore. You're writing it up for an international audience.
Step 1: Change the number unit (rupees stay rupees)
Step 2: Change the currency, as a separate step
₹23.45 billion, or about $276 million at an example rate of ₹85 per US dollar. Use the exchange rate for the reporting date, and say which one you used.
Three Mistakes to Avoid
- Reading crore as million. ₹5 crore is 50 million rupees, not 5 million. Getting it wrong understates the figure tenfold.
- Mixing the unit change and the currency change. "₹100 crore = $1 billion" is wrong twice over. 100 crore is 1 billion rupees, which is far fewer dollars.
- Treating "lakh crore" as a typo. It means 100,000 crore, or one trillion. Indian budget and GDP figures are usually given this way.
