You would be better off by setting the culture.

This can be done site-wide in the web.config, using the <globalization uiCulture="in" culture="in-IN" /> element, or at the page level in the page directive <%@ Page UICulture="in" Culture="in-IN" %>

(it is in-IN or hi-IN am not too sure)

Or simply this for one-off scenario: DataFormatString = ₹ + "{0:c2}";

Setting the UICulture to hi and Culture="hi-IN" will display the Hindi Symbol: रु for Rupees. [ Hindi is a language of India ]

If you want to display the symbol ₹ for an Indian Rupee, you can set the CultureInfo and customize the currency sign for the Culture.

// Override the InitializeCulture() method in your code behind file.

protected override void InitializeCulture()
  {

     CultureInfo ci = new CultureInfo("en-IN");
     // assign your custom Rupee symbol of your country
     ci.NumberFormat.CurrencySymbol = "&#8377;";
     Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture 
                                            = ci;

     base.InitializeCulture();
  }

Now in your GridView you only need to specify the DataFormatString="{0:C}" and HtmlEncode as false.

<asp:BoundField DataField="UnitPrice" DataFormatString="{0:C}"
     HtmlEncode="false" />
