I have been wanting to write a converter that can convert not just from crores to billions (and vice-versa), but, one with conversion rates. Plus also a way to easily mention large numbers like lakh crores or crore crores.
For example, I would like to know how much in million/billion $ would be Rs.1.76 lakh crore?
And, I finally developed and deployed the following app in the Google app engine:
http://crore-2-billion.appspot.com/
Important thing is that, I have used a simpler notation for the user to enter in large amounts.
The fields on the left hand side will be in Indian Rupees and the ones on the right will be in foreign currencies. The foreign currency can be selected in the combo (rhs). The left hand side has a conversion rate (which can be adjusted by the user).
So, if you want to convert 1.76 lakh crore, you can enter 1.76 LC - LC means Lakh Crore (case insensitive). Likewise, TC for Thousand crore and CC for Crore Crore and so on. So, you want to enter our budget numbers, you can do so with a simple notation.
When the right arrow (-->) is clicked, the Indian notation is converted into million/billion. We can see two fields on the right. One which just does numbered conversion and the other which includes the rate too.
So, when you enter 1.76 LC and click the arrow, you see this converted to pure number which is 1.76 trillion and also with $ conversion - which turns out to be $27.08 billion.
Likewise, you can do the reverse. Enter 165 M (for 165 million $) and press the left arrow key (<--).
It will be converted to lakh/crore along with the rate conversion and both numbers shown.
I hope this would be useful to finance people who track big budgets.
