India's Unified Payments Interface (UPI) logged a new milestone, with daily transaction volumes exceeding 45 crore as the festive shopping season began. The surge marks the highest daily count ever recorded for the digital payment system.
The record underscores India's dominant position in the global digital economy, where UPI continues to outpace comparable platforms worldwide. Analysts attribute the growth to widespread adoption across merchants and consumers alike.
