Fusion42 · 9 October 2026 · Fusion42 review

The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) is set to decide on delaying the introduction of Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) fees for UPI transactions as the payments industry requests more time to prepare.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 30 sources have reported it between 15 Sep 2026 and 9 Oct 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

India's payment startups have a brief window to adjust product pricing ahead of UPI fee changes. You need to act fast on your pricing and partner conversations before NPCI finalises the MDR delay.
