Apple Pay is expected to launch in India by late 2026 with support for credit cards from Visa and Mastercard, but without integration of the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) due to regulatory and partnership hurdles.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 2 sources have reported it between 11 Aug 2026 and 12 Aug 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

The Indian payments market is opening to Apple Pay without UPI, giving you a chance to fill gaps for users needing unified payment solutions beyond cards. Credit card-based wallets will face less competition initially, so align your integrations accordingly.
