NRE account is a repatriable Rupee account. It can be opened with either funds remitted form abroad or local funds which can be remitted abroad.
NRO account is a non-repatriable Rupee account and can be opened in with funds either remitted from abroad or generated in India, all bank accountsin India for NRIs/ Indians Overseas will be redesigned as NRO Accounts. Amount once transferred to NRO account will become non-repatriable.

In Simple terms, NRE is when the flow of funds is from outside India and NRO is when the source of funds is originating in India.
