UPI record transactions: How much the popularity of UPI has increased in India towards digital, you can also guess from the fact that in a day, more transactions from the population of America have been done through UPI. According to data from the year 2024, the US population was around 341.2 million, but on August 2, 2025 in India, a record 707 million transactions were done through UPI.

These figures shared by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) show how the use of this platform has increased rapidly. In the last few years, UPI has achieved this historic position. In 2023, about 350 million (35 million) of UPI transactions were done every day. By August 2024, this number increased to 500 million (50 crore). Now this figure has reached 700 million (70 crore).
Target of 1 billion (100 crore) transactions
Now the government aims to bring daily transactions to 1 billion (100 crore) through UPI. It is estimated that if the UPI transactions continue to grow from this side, then this goal will be achieved by next year.
Last month, about 19.5 billion (1.95 billion) transactions were conducted through UPI, with a total amount of more than Rs 25 lakh crore. About 85% of digital transactions in India are now done through UPI. Not only this, about 50% of the total digital transactions to be held worldwide is now being done from UPI, which shows India’s technical leadership capacity.
It is worth noting that on 2 August 2025, for the first time, the number of daily transactions reached 70 million (700 million) through UPI, which has been confirmed by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) itself. In July 2025, an average of 65 crore (650 million) transactions were done daily through UPI. Experts believe that in early August, this number reached beyond 70 crores due to payment from UPI like fare, electricity-water bills and salary transfer.
