Apr 14 (BNP): India is fast emerging as a global hub for digital micro-payments, with UPI transactions reaching 228 billion in 2025, according to a report by Worldline.
The surge reflects the growing shift toward cashless transactions, especially for small, everyday payments. From local shops to street vendors, UPI has become a preferred mode of payment due to its speed and ease of use.
The report highlights that India’s digital ecosystem is increasingly driven by high-volume, low-value transactions, strengthening financial inclusion and expanding access to formal banking systems.
With rising smartphone usage and improved digital infrastructure, India’s micro-payments economy is expected to grow further in the coming years.
