Pneucons, an Ahmedabad-based industrial marketplace, announced it will disable UPI payments from October 10 due to a new 0.4 percent merchant discount rate (MDR) applied on UPI transactions above Rs 2,000, which could consume up to 94% of its commission margin on orders.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 27 sources have reported it between 15 Sep 2026 and 5 Oct 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Your payment cost base just spiked with India's new UPI merchant fee. If you rely on narrow fintech margins, check your pricing and payment methods immediately or risk unviable transactions.
