Sansad Tv

India’s homegrown digital payment platform, the Unified Payments Interface, or UPI – has transformed the way we transact. What began as a domestic fintech revolution has now become a passport for seamless payments across borders. The latest country to join this growing network is Qatar, where UPI is now accepted at merchant terminals through a tie-up between NPCI International Payments Limited and Qatar National Bank. For Indian travellers – the second-largest group of visitors to Qatar – this means familiar, hassle-free transactions and fewer worries about carrying cash. With eight countries already on board, UPI’s global footprint is expanding rapidly. Today on the show, we’ll explore why this matters, what it means for Indian expatriates and travellers, and how India’s digital innovation is shaping global payments.
