India’s E-Rupee Adoption Surges as RBI Expands CBDC Use

By Manoj Dharra

Retail adoption of India’s Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), or e-rupee, has soared, with circulation reaching ₹234.12 crore in March 2024, up from ₹16.3 crore the previous year. Retail e-rupee usage grew to 5 million by June, supported by 420,000 businesses participating in the CBDC trial.

Experts credit the surge to major banks offering CBDC wallets to employees and the RBI enabling CBDC-UPI interoperability, making it more accessible to consumers. Retail transactions dominate the e-rupee market, accounting for nearly all circulation.
