FM Nirmala Sitharaman calls for action amid repeated UPI outages

As UPI continues to experience frequent outages, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman held a review meeting on Monday. During the meeting, she urged all stakeholders to collaborate in addressing the existing infrastructure gaps. She emphasised the goal of achieving one billion UPI transactions per day within the next 2-3 years. This meeting followed three major outages that UPI encountered recently, with users across the country facing transaction failures on April 12, marking the third incident in less than two weeks. Prior outages were reported on March 26 and April 2.
