Unified Payments Interface (UPI) is now accepted in Qatar, with Qatar Duty Free becoming the first commercial outlet to go live. Launched in partnership with NPCI International Payments Limited (NIPL) and Qatar National Bank (QNB), this initiative allows Indian tourists to make seamless digital payments at major tourist spots and retail stores, eliminating the need for cash or currency exchange. Qatar becomes the eighth country to adopt UPI globally, strengthening the reach of India’s digital payment system.
