“Zomato has a large set of customers that frequently use UPI to make payments for their food orders,” a Zomato spokesperson said. “We are providing a facility (as technology partner to ICICI) for customers to create a UPI ID on Zomato app, so that they can make payments seamlessly without the need to switch apps.”
The move comes as the UPI’s governing body, the National Payments Corp. of India, is moving to reduce the duopoly of PhonePe and Google Pay in transaction volumes for UPI.
It had set a 30% cap on transaction volumes and extended the deadline for companies to comply with this to Dec. 31, 2024.
According to The Arc, a news outlet, Flipkart will also roll out its UPI offering.
