Although UPI transactions fell short of the government's target of 200 billion transactions for FY25, reaching 185 billion, the platform remains a cornerstone of India's digital payments ecosystem.The government has approved a ₹1,500 crore subsidy to promote UPI transactions below ₹2,000, aiming to benefit small merchants and consumers.

The rapid adoption of UPI underscores India's shift towards digital financial solutions. Key factors contributing to this growth include:

  • Convenience and Accessibility: UPI’s real-time payment capabilities make it a preferred choice for both peer-to-peer and merchant transactions.

  • Government Support: Incentives and subsidies have encouraged widespread adoption, particularly among small businesses.
