News: UPI crosses 20 Bn monthly transactions for first time in August The Unified Payments Interface (UPI) crossed a major milestone in August 2025 by processing 20.01 billion transactions, the first time it has ever breached the 20 billion monthly mark. In terms of value, UPI recorded transactions worth Rs 24.85 lakh crore during the month. This milestone comes on the back of steady growth over the past few months. In June 2025, UPI clocked 18.40 billion transactions worth Rs 24.04 lakh crore. The following month, July, saw a sharp rise to 19.47 billion transactions, a 5.8% increase from June, with the transaction value climbing to Rs 25.08 lakh crore. In August, UPI transactions crossed the 20 billion mark, posting a 2.8% increase over July. While the total value slipped by 0.9% from the previous month, it still stayed comfortably higher than June’s level. On a year-on-year basis, UPI volumes surged 34%, while the value of transactions jumped 21% in August. The average daily transaction count climbed to 645 million, and the daily value stood at Rs 80,177 crore. UPI also achieved a record of crossing 700 million transactions in a single day on August 2. This surge comes despite the ban on real money gaming platforms, which used to make up a significant share of UPI transactions. Most of these platforms started shutting down after Parliament passed the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025 on August 21. The consistent rise from 18.40 billion transactions in June to 20.01 billion in August underscores the growing reliance on UPI for everyday payments, from peer-to-peer transfers to merchant transactions, cementing its position as the backbone of India’s digital payments ecosystem. As of July, PhonePe (8.93 billion) accounted for a commanding 45.88% share in terms of volume, followed by Google Pay (6.92 billion) with 35.56%. Of the total transaction value of Rs 25,08,498.09 crore, PhonePe held 48.64%, while Google Pay contributed 35.53%. In terms of merchant categories, groceries and supermarkets led UPI transactions with 3.03 billion (3,032 million) in volume and Rs 64,882 crore in value, followed by fast food at 1.22 billion and restaurants at 1.15 billion. Digital goods and games, which also include real money gaming, registered 351.24 million transactions worth Rs 10,076 crore. The breakup data for August is yet to be published by NPCI.
