A one-minute primer on the Indian number system

India counts big numbers in lakh (1,00,000 — a hundred thousand) and crore (1,00,00,000 — ten million). After the first thousand, digits group in pairs instead of threes, which is why ₹2.5 crore is written ₹2,50,00,000 in India and ₹25,000,000 everywhere else.

  • 1 lakh = 100 thousand = 0.1 million
  • 1 crore = 100 lakh = 10 million
  • 100 crore = 1 billion = 1 arab
  • 1 lakh crore = 1 trillion
