"At the moment, the retail pilot has 1.3 million customers and 300,000 merchants after seven months since its launch. While details of transaction volumes are sparse, pundits posit that the new target of a million daily transactions may be the most challenging milestone placed by the RBI.
To achieve the target, the central bank is expected to extend the pilot to more cities across India by adding new use cases across transportation and retail sectors. The retail pilot is spearheaded by eight Indian banks, including the State Bank of India, ICICI Bank, IDFC First Bank, Bank of Baroda, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Union Bank of India, HDFC Bank, and Yes Bank."
