NPCI International Payments Ltd (NIPL), in collaboration with NEOPAY and Emaar Entertainment, has enabled UPI payments for online bookings at 'At the Top, Burj Khalifa'. This expands on an existing UAE partnership, allowing Indian visitors to use India's domestic payment system to pre-book experiences online before arrival.
