INDIA NEWS | Mon, 18 May 2026, 8:05PM IST UPI processed 85.5% of all payment transactions in India by volume in the second half of CY 2025 but accounted for just 9.5% of the total value while RTGS, handling a mere 0.1% of volumes, dominated with 68.6% of total transaction value, according to the Reserve Bank of India's Payments System Report for December 2025.The data lays bare the structural divide in India's payments architecture: UPI as the engine of mass retail transactions, and RTGS as the silent workhorse of high-value settlements.Also Read | Why India cannot build a world-class fintech champ yetNEFT occupied the middle ground, holding the second-highest share in both volume (3.6%) and value (14.9%), reflecting its versatility as a system capable of processing both small and large transactions with settlement within an hour. Prepaid Payment Instruments matched NEFT's volume share at 3.6% but contributed just 0.1% of total transaction value.Four Years of Explosive GrowthThe broader numbers tell a story of remarkable scale. Total payment transaction volumes grew from 6,437 crore in CY 2021 to 26,819 crore in CY 2025 a CAGR of 42.9% while transaction value expanded from Rs 1,741 lakh crore to Rs 3,215 lakh crore, a CAGR of 16.6%.Also Read | Nearly half of Indias online orders are still COD. Why cash on delivery isnt fading in the UPI eraDigital payments now constitute 99.8% of all payment transactions by volume and 97.8% by value, up from 98.9% and 96.2% respectively in CY 2021, recording a CAGR of 43.2% in volume and 17% in value over the period. Retail transactions mirrored this trend, growing from 6,417 crore to 26,786 crore in volume and from Rs 495 lakh crore to Rs 1,009 lakh crore in value between CY 2021 and CY 2025 a CAGR of 43% and 19.5% respectively.UPI's Unstoppable RiseAt the heart of this growth story is UPI. Transactions on the platform surged from 3,873 crore in CY 2021 to 22,828 crore in CY 2025, a CAGR of 55.8% by volume.In value terms, UPI transactions grew from Rs 72 lakh crore to Rs 300 lakh crore over the same period, a CAGR of 43%. UPI now accounts for nearly nine in every ten digital payment transactions in the country.Debit Cards: The Casualty of UPI's RiseThe flip side of UPI's ascent is the accelerating decline of the debit card. Debit card transaction volumes fell sharply from 408.7 crore in CY 2021 to 133.6 crore in CY 2025 a CAGR of -24.4% while value declined from Rs 7.4 lakh crore to Rs 4.5 lakh crore, a CAGR of -11.7%.The data confirms what the industry has long observed: UPI has effectively displaced the debit card as India's default instrument for everyday retail payments, with the decline showing no sign of abating.

INDIA NEWS | Mon, 18 May 2026, 7:37PM IST A Rs 3-per-litre increase in petrol and diesel prices has helped state-run oil marketing companies trim daily losses by nearly a quarter, reducing overall losses to around Rs 750 crore per day from Rs 1,000 crore, a senior oil ministry official said Monday. However, elevated global crude prices and a weak rupee continue to keep pump rates below cost-recovery levels. At a news briefing, Sujata Sharma, Joint Secretary in the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, said a bailout package, in the form of a government subsidy to make up for losses state-owned oil companies are incurring on selling petrol, diesel and cooking gas LPG below cost, is "still not on the table". International oil prices rose sharply after the US-Israeli war against Iran triggered the largest-ever oil supply disruption. To keep the domestic market insulated, the state-owned oil companies continued to sell fuel at two-year-old rates till May 15, when prices of petrol and diesel were raised by Rs 3 per litre. The
