Since April has 30 days compared to March's 31, adding one day's average daily transaction volume to April's total UPI volume would bring it on par with March’s transaction count. Unified Payments Interface (UPI) registered 17.89 billion transactions in April, marking a marginal 2.24% decline from the 18.30 billion transactions recorded in March. The transaction volume in value terms also saw a slight month-on-month drop of 3.3%, settling at Rs 23.95 lakh crore in April compared to Rs 24.77 lakh crore in the previous month. Despite the dip, year-on-year growth remained strong. April’s transaction count reflected a 34% year-on-year rise, while the transaction amount saw a 22% jump compared to the same month last year. According to NPCI data, the average daily transaction count for April stood at 596 million, up from 590 million in March. The average daily transaction value also slightly increased to Rs 79,831 crore from Rs 79,910 crore in March. Since April has 30 days compared to March's 31, adding one day's average daily transaction volume to April's total UPI volume would bring it on par with March’s transaction count. The small dip in April is likely attributable to the fewer number of business days in the month and possibly the stabilization after March's financial year-end rush. PhonePe, as usual, maintained its leadership among top UPI apps as of March, followed by Google Pay, Paytm, Navi, and Super.money. With a commanding 47.25% market share by transaction volume, PhonePe processed 8.64 billion transactions. Google Pay followed closely with 36.04%, handling 6.59 billion transactions. Together, the two giants controlled over 83% of the UPI transaction volume. In a recent development, the Indian government approved a new scheme with a budget of Rs 1,500 crore to encourage small merchants to use digital payments through the BHIM-UPI platform.

UPI records marginal dip in June with 18.4 Bn transactions This reflects a month-on-month (MoM) dip of around 1.5% in volume and 4.4% in value. On a year-on-year (YoY) basis, UPI volumes in June grew 32%, while the transaction value rose 20%. After hitting an all-time high in May, Unified Payments Interface (UPI) transactions slightly declined in June 2025 in both volume and value. According to data released by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), the platform processed 18.40 billion transactions worth Rs 24.04 lakh crore in June, compared to 18.68 billion transactions worth Rs 25.14 lakh crore in May. This reflects a month-on-month (MoM) dip of around 1.5% in volume and 4.4% in value. On a year-on-year (YoY) basis, UPI volumes in June grew 32%, while the transaction value rose 20%. The average daily transaction count stood at 613 million in June, slightly higher than 602 million in May, while the average daily transaction value was marginally lower at Rs 80,131 crore compared to Rs 81,106 crore in the previous month. The higher daily average in June is likely due to the fewer number of days in the month compared to May. As of May, PhonePe retained its lead with a 46.47% share of the total UPI volume, followed by Google Pay with a 36.09% market share. Paytm is the third-largest UPI player with a 6.84% share of the UPI volume. New entrants like Navi, Flipkart’s super.money, and Fampay by Trio are also making notable contributions to the overall UPI volume. Besides India, UPI is currently live in Bhutan, Nepal, Mauritius, Sri Lanka, Singapore, France, Oman, and the UAE.
