Indian travellers can now use India's Unified Payments Interface (UPI) to book tickets online for Dubai's Burj Khalifa. This partnership between NEOPAY, NPCI International, and Emaar marks the first time UPI has been accepted for e-commerce transactions in the UAE.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 14 sources have reported it between 29 Jul 2026 and 2 Aug 2026.

◆ The Wire takeaway

The payment rails for Indian tourists to pay online in the UAE just went live. If you sell travel, tickets or experiences to the Indian market, your checkout now needs a UPI option to compete.
