Dilip Asbe, CEO of the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), has set a new target for India's payment vision of achieving 100 billion transactions per month. This ambitious goal comes as India's digital payment ecosystem continues to expand. In August alone, transactions using the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) reached 2.5 billion, with UPI transaction values consistently surpassing Rs 20 lakh crore. Asbe also noted the significant growth in credit line transactions using UPI, reaching Rs 10,000 crore.

Unified payments interface (UPI) has crossed the milestone of processing 500 million transactions on a daily basis for a couple of times in August. This is a significant jump in daily volume as the Indian government has set the ambitious target of clocking 1 billion transactions per day by 2026-27. As per data published by the NPCI, UPI crossed 500 million transaction count on August 2 and August 5. However, this is the third instance when UPI achieved the milestone. The previous was on July 2, 2024, according to UPI data analyzed by Entrackr. To recall, UPI first crossed 500 million transactions on a monthly basis for the first time in November 2018 and it took less than six years to achieve the same feat on a daily basis. This also shows that the NPCI has developed a robust platform which can handle ever-growing scale. Currently, there are very few companies in India and overseas that are capable of processing over 50 crore transactions on a daily basis. “0.5 Bn/day. Time to revise the India Vision from 1 billion / day to 100 Bn/month,” said NPCI CEO Dilip Asbe on X. In July, UPI transactions rose 3.95% month-on-month to 14.44 billion from 13.89 billion in June. Volume wise, PhonePe had 48.3% market share in UPI as of June followed by Google Pay and Paytm with 36.7% and nearly 8% market share, respectively. A bunch of new players such as CRED, NAVI, Groww, Slice and recently launched Flipkart UPI are also clocking decent volumes in UPI. The volume breakup for July is yet to be published. NPCI has also launched a credit line on UPI facility in which ICICI Bank is one of the leading banks with other five to six lenders. Recently, NPCI chief operating officer (COO) Praveena Rai said that UPI is adding up to 6 million new users every month. Besides India, NPCI has launched the instant payments services in foreign countries including Singapore, France, Mauritius, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka and the UAE.

Unified payments interface (UPI) saw a 3.95% month-on-month growth in volume to 14.44 billion in July from 13.89 billion in June. While PhonePe and Google Pay maintained their market share in the last month, Paytm registered a minor decline. As per data published by National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), PhonePe clocked 6.98 billion transactions in July followed by Google Pay and Paytm with 5.34 billion and 1.12 billion transactions, respectively. This translates into 48.3% market share for PhonePe, 37% for Google and 7.82% for Paytm. In June, PhonePe had 48.3% market share in UPI as of June followed by Google Pay and Paytm with 36.7% and nearly 8% market share. Value wise, PhonePe’s market share declined from 50.27% in June to 49.85% in July and Paytm’s market share also fell by a small margin to 5.98%. Google Pay’s value market share improved from 35% to 35.6%. The decline in market share for top players can be attributed to the entry of new players such as CRED, NAVI, Groww, Slice and Flipkart UPI which have been eating up a decent chunk of the volumes of leading apps. As per NPCI data, CRED was the fourth largest player in UPI, accompanied by Axis Bank Apps, Amazon Pay, Navi, ICICI Bank Apps, Fampay by Trio, and Kotak Mahindra Bank Apps. After much hype, WhatsApp Pay managed to get 11th position ahead of other notable apps such as BHIM, Groww, Slice, MobiKwik and Flipkart UPI. Among the new players, Sachin Bansal-led Navi nearly doubled its transactions from 35 million in June to 68 million in July. UPI is set to reach new heights in the coming months as it crossed the milestone of processing 500 million transactions daily for three times in August. Overall, this [August 5] was the fourth instance when UPI has crossed the milestone since its inception in April 2016. Notably, NPCI has set a target of clocking 1 billion transactions per day by 2026-27.
