According to Odaily Planet Daily, the Reserve Bank of India announced that it will expand the digital rupee (CBDC) wallet service from banks to non-bank payment operators. Since the pilot in December last year, the cumulative transactions have exceeded 22 million, with users reaching 4.6 million consumers and 400,000 merchants. The first batch of programmable payments was launched last week, providing farmers with dedicated agricultural payments. The central bank is testing offline functions internally. The Indian government believes that cross-border payments are an important application scenario for CBDC, and last year it launched a cross-border CBDC trial with the UAE.
