UPI Growth

India's digital payments landscape has experienced significant shifts in the financial year 2024–25, with UPI QR codes leading the growth.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Monday stressed the need to target one billion UPI transactions per day within two to three years.

Digital payments through UPI were restored after a widespread outage across India disrupted transactions for millions.

NPCI data shows UPI transactions surged to 18.3 billion in March, marking a 13.59% increase from February's 16.11 billion.

Credit card spending rose 10.8% YoY to Rs 1.84 lakh crore in January 2025, led by HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank, RBI data showed.
