New Delhi– The digital payments market in India is set to become a trillion-dollar industry in the next five years, led by growth in mobile payments which are slated to rise to $190 billion by 2023 from $10 billion in 2017-18, the NITI Aayog said on Tuesday.
This would present huge business opportunities for players in the digital space, according to the NITI Aayog’s “Digital Payment: Trends, Issues and Opportunities” report released on Tuesday.
