Launch of India’s RuPay / UPI connectivity with Mauritius and Sri Lanka

Summary:

The Indian government, in collaboration with the governments of Mauritius and Sri Lanka, has launched a digital payments connectivity initiative, enabling the use of RuPay cards and Unified Payments Interface (UPI) between the three nations. This connectivity allows Indian travelers to make payments in Mauritius and Sri Lanka using UPI, while also enabling Mauritian and Sri Lankan travelers to make payments in India. RuPay cards issued in Mauritius will be accepted in India, and Indian RuPay cards will be accepted in Mauritius. This partnership is expected to deepen financial integration and strengthen the historical, cultural, and economic relations between India and the two countries.
