It would be better not exchange money at the airport, you can exchange in banks, and with "money changers". With money changers be careful, they give also "wrong" money. Also, there are many ATM-Machines in Delhi and India.
Money is easy to get in India; there are thousands of ATM’s money machines in many cities and towns. Please ask your bank if your card would work in India. These cards offer a quite good bank exchange rate. Please check with your bank that your card is "free for Asia" otherwise all credit-cards do work.
At the airport you should only exchange a small amount of money because there the rate is much higher. In Delhi or big cities there are money changers everywhere.
