Yes, you can open an NRO (Non-Resident Ordinary) account without having an NRE (Non-Resident External) account.

An NRI is mandatorily required to open an NRO account as soon as his status becomes NRI. An NRI cannot have a bank account in his name in India. Thus, an NRI is required to convert their existing bank accounts to NRO.
