RBI Digital Payments Index Rises to 516.76 in September 2025

Reserve Bank of India (RBI) said its Digital Payments Index (RBI-DPI) rose to 516.76 in September 2025, up from 493.22 in March 2025, reflecting continued growth in digital payment adoption across the country.

The RBI-DPI, introduced in January 2021 with March 2018 as the base year (index value 100), measures the extent of digitisation of payments nationwide.

The central bank attributed the increase to strong growth in key parameters, particularly Payment Performance and Payment Enablers, indicating wider usage and improved infrastructure supporting digital transactions.

Since its inception, the index has shown steady growth, rising from 100 in March 2018 to 516.76 in September 2025, highlighting the rapid expansion of India’s digital payments ecosystem.
