India has the capacity to do 100 billion UPI transactions every month, there will be 2 billion transactions per day by 2030

National Payments Corporation of India CEO Dilip Asbe today said India is capable of processing 100 billion UPI (Unified Payments Interface) transactions per month. This is a tenfold increase from the 10 billion transactions in August 2016. NPCI CEO and MD Dilip Asbe said that the number of UPI users has now reached 350 million.

New Delhi, Agency: National Payments Corporation of India CEO Dilip Asbe today said that India has the potential to do 100 billion Unified Payments Interface (UPI) transactions in a month. This will be a 10-fold increase from the 10 billion transactions achieved in the month of August 2016.

How many users are there currently?

Dilip Asbe, CEO and MD, NPCI, told news agency PTI that currently there are 350 million UPI users and the growth opportunity in merchants and users is 3X.

There will be 2 billion transactions per day by 2030

The CEO of NPCI did not yet say when the figure of 100 billion would be reached but he did tell that there will be 2 billion transactions per day in India by the year 2030. Currently, the Visa card network processes 22.5 billion transactions every month, while Mastercard processes more than 11 billion transactions.

Credit card usage may increase up to 10 times

CEO Asbe said credit card usage could see a tenfold increase if the industry embraces the emerging trend of satatization, but this is only possible if banks provide the right platforms.

He said that currently, credit cards have very high acquisition and underwriting costs, which is a challenge for the inclusion agenda, but digital and technology services can help bring it down.

Answer on internationalisation

On internationalisation of UPI, Asbe said such efforts require regulatory help and by 2030, NPCI aims to have the right nexus to enable seamless payments between India and half of the top 30 markets.

India’s power needs are expected to increase by more than 70 percent in the next decade, according to a report released by BMI, a division of rating agency Fitch. The report said the country will continue to focus on non-hydropower renewable sources.

New Delhi: India’s power demand is expected to grow by more than 70 per cent over the next decade, according to a report released by BMI, a division of rating agency Fitch.

According to the report, the country will keep a strong focus on non-hydropower renewable sources.

Even by 2032, most of the electricity will be generated from coal.

BMI, in its report, said coal-powered generation will still account for the majority of output by 2032, reflecting the country’s heavy dependence on the coal sector.

The report said that:

We estimate that India’s power production will increase by more than 70 percent over the next decade, the largest increase among the world’s largest electricity producers. There will be a strong focus on non-hydropower renewable forms of electricity generation in India, which we expect will account for 16.9 percent of total generation by 2032.

Production will increase due to strong demand

According to the report, a strong long-term expansion in electricity demand will support electricity generation growth, thereby ensuring that power consumption demand is met.

BMI said electricity consumption is likely to grow at an average annual rate of 4.9 percent through 2032 due to population growth, increasing urbanization as well as increasing demand from the construction, manufacturing and service sectors. According to official data, India’s energy requirement during April-March FY23 stood at 15,11,847 million units.

What is a renewable source?

A renewable energy source means energy that is sustainable – something that cannot run out, such as solar energy. Renewable sources mean sources of energy that are alternatives to the most commonly used non-sustainable sources such as coal. This includes solar energy, wind energy etc.

How much unclaimed money in the country?
