The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has announced the launch of 'UPI One World' wallet services for international visitors attending the India AI Impact Summit. This service enables inbound foreign travelers to make secure and real-time Person-to-Merchant (P2M) UPI payments during their stay in India.

This initiative is available at the New Delhi International Airport and the NPCI Pavilion in Bharat Mandapam. Travelers can utilize the wallet service without requiring an Indian mobile number or bank account, making transactions seamless by scanning UPI QR codes via the PPI-UPI application.

The wallet eliminates the need to carry cash or manage foreign exchange complexities, and any unused balance can be returned to the original payment source. The AI Impact Summit 2026, featuring global tech leaders and representatives from over 100 countries, runs from February 16-20 at Bharat Mandapam, Delhi.
