Paytm's UPI Market Share Increases Amid Recovery and Stock Rally
Paytm's UPI market share rose from 7.1 percent in September 2024 to 8.1 percent in September 2026, recovering from a dip to 6.7 percent in March 2025 following RBI restrictions on Paytm Payments Bank in January 2024. Despite increased transaction volume and value, Paytm remains behind market leaders PhonePe and Google Pay, which hold 78 percent of UPI volume. Paytm's stock has also rallied recently, supported by expectations of merchant discount rate charges boosting margins and growth prospects.
