Fusion42 · 8 September 2026 · Fusion42 review

Apple Pay is expected to launch in India in October 2026, allowing supported Visa and Mastercard cards to be used for contactless purchases via iPhone and Apple Watch, although initial support for the popular Unified Payments Interface (UPI) might be absent.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Apple's arrival in India opens contactless card payments to iPhone and Apple Watch users, creating new market entry opportunities despite UPI absence. You should explore partnerships with card networks and prepare for evolving competitive pressure once UPI integration surfaces.
