India's UPI to Launch in Uzbekistan to Boost Digital Payments and Trade
India's Unified Payments Interface (UPI) is set to be introduced in Uzbekistan, enhancing digital payment interoperability between the two countries. This development follows a network agreement between India's NPCI International Payments Limited and Uzbekistan's HUMO system, expected to be operational within a year. The rollout aims to facilitate transactions for Indian travelers and support bilateral trade growth, with both nations targeting an increase from $1 billion to $5 billion by 2030. The move aligns with broader strategic partnerships signed during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Uzbekistan.
