Petrol pump dealers in Madhya Pradesh plan to stop accepting UPI payments over Rs 2,000 from October 16 due to the introduction of a flat Rs 5 MDR charge on these transactions, which dealers say will increase their operational costs and affect around 4,700 pumps.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Petrol retailers in Madhya Pradesh face new mandatory fees that cut into thin margins, forcing a UPI payment cap. If you provide payment tools or services to retail fuel vendors, this limit changes your addressable market immediately.
