Prime Minister Narendra Modi and French President Emmanuel Macron discuss expanding India’s UPI (Unified Payments Interface) payment system in France during bilateral talks, according to India’s Ministry of External Affairs. The discussions focus on further rollout of UPI across French locations beyond current availability. UPI is already accessible in several French localities, including well-known tourist and travel areas such as the Eiffel Tower and select airports. Both sides indicate that additional deployment is planned in French cities, following the initial launches. The MEA statement frames the talks as part of broader cooperation between India and France and highlights UPI’s growing presence internationally. Sources agree that the expansion is underway and that further steps are planned to widen access for users and merchants in France. The reports do not provide specific timelines, partner names, or technical details of the next phase of deployment, but they confirm ongoing coordination between the two governments on increasing UPI coverage within France.
