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. According to media reports, NPCI is also aiming to expand UPI to additional countries, including Qatar, Thailand, Malaysia, and other Southeast Asian nations, while the UK, Oman, and the Maldives have shown interest or are in the early stages of integration.

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.

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.
