Paytm, a leading digital payments company, experienced a slight decline in Unified Payments Interface (UPI) transactions in March.

Google Pay processed 5 billion transactions in March, while PhonePe processed 6.5 billion transactions. Paytm has been steadily losing market share on UPI and has shifted its UPI payments to four large banks. Overall, UPI payments rose to 13.4 billion in March. NPCI is closely monitoring the market share dynamics as there is a regulatory mandate to restrict any single payment application from exceeding 30% market share on UPI.

UPI transaction volume dips slightly in September
Medial

UPI transactions in India remained strong in September 2025, with the platform processing 19.63 billion transactions valued at Rs 24.90 lakh crore, according to data from NPCI. While the transaction count showed a slight dip (1.9%) from August’s 20.01 billion, the total value edged higher from Rs 24.85 lakh crore. The slight decline is partly due to September having fewer days than August. The average daily transaction volume in September was 654 million, generating a daily value of Rs 82,991 crore, compared to 645 million transactions and Rs 80,177 crore per day in August. On a year-on-year basis, September saw transaction volumes rise 31% and transaction values increase 21%, compared with August’s 34% growth in volumes and a 21% rise in value. As of August, PhonePe held a 45.74% share of transaction volume, followed by Google Pay with a 35.30% share. For the first time, PhonePe and Google Pay crossed the 9 billion and 7 billion monthly transaction milestones, respectively, in August. Sector-wise, grocery and supermarket merchants recorded the highest UPI usage, followed by fast food and restaurant categories. The breakup data for September is yet to be released. UPI has expanded to several new countries, including France and the UAE, with agreements in place for Namibia, Trinidad and Tobago, and Peru. It is already operational in Bhutan, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Mauritius, and Nepal, and recently went live in Qatar.

Unified Payments Interface (UPI) has set another record as it processed more than 14 billion transactions worth Rs 20.45 lakh crore or Rs 20.45 trillion in May, according to data issued by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI). UPI saw a 5% jump in volume and a 4% surge in value of transactions in May compared to April. This is a new high in terms of volume and value for UPI which began its operations in April 2016. Last month, the volume of transactions declined by 1% to 13.3 billion from 13.44 billion in March. The total transaction value in the same period also fell 0.7% to Rs 19.64 trillion from Rs 19.78 trillion. The transaction count is expected to rise in the coming months as NPCI is expanding UPI services to more countries. Besides India, it is also available in countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, UAE, France, Nepal, UK, Mauritius, and Sri Lanka. Going forward, the Reserve Bank of India along with NPCI have plans to take UPI to 20 countries by FY29. In its annual report, RBI also said that nearly four out of five digital payments in the country were conducted on the UPI in FY24. As of April, PhonePe had 48.87% market share in the UPI ecosystem. This was followed by Google Pay and Paytm which controlled 37.5% and 8.3% market share in UPI respectively. Value wise, PhonePe had close to 51% market share followed by Google Pay and Paytm with 35% and 5% share respectively. The break up data for May is yet to be released by NPCI. NPCI is reportedly considering reviewing its decision to implement a 30% cap on the market share of UPI apps by the end of 2024. Meanwhile, industry stalwarts Adani Group and Mukesh Ambani-backed Reliance Group are also gearing up to enter the UPI and digital bank ecosystem. As per media reports, Adani Group is considering seeking for a license to operate on the UPI while Jio Financial announced a new app called JioFinance.
