Apple Pay is set to launch in India by October 2026, though it will likely not support the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) at the start.

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

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Apple Pay's India launch without UPI support opens a payment rail gap for fintechs working on UPI integrations. You should explore immediate partnerships or alternatives to fill customer needs that Apple leaves unserved initially.
