Answer 1

I agree with Rob Agar.

I'm not sure on the figures you have, but something like this for a custom modifier is a starting point

function smarty_modifier_indian_currency($price)
{
    if($price>100000)
    {
        $lacs=$price/100000;
        // lacs

        if($lacs<100) return $lacs.' lacs';

        $crore=floor($lacs/100);
        $lacs=$lacs-($crore*100);

        if($lacs==0) return $crore.' crore';
        return $crore.'/'.$lacs.' crore';

    }
    return $price;
}

Answer 2

The tricky bit is handling Indian currency formatting, which is covered in this question. After that it's straightforward to add a custom Smarty modifier to allow you to write something like this in your template:

{$amount|format_indian_currency}
