India's Unified Payments Interface (UPI) recorded its highest monthly transaction volume in July 2026, processing 23.66 billion transactions worth ₹29.88 trillion, a 4.1% increase in volume and 3.3% rise in value from June. Compared to July 2025, volumes grew 22% and value rose 19%. Growth is driven by increased adoption beyond metropolitan areas, with tier 2, tier 3, and rural users engaging more in everyday transactions. Immediate Payment Service (IMPS) transactions also saw a 3% volume increase in July.
