The National Payments Corporation of India has established NPCI Tech Solutions Limited as a wholly owned technology subsidiary, with a focus on emerging technologies and digital financial infrastructure.
The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has set up NPCI Tech Solutions Limited (NTSL) as a wholly owned technology subsidiary and innovation arm. The development was reported on 4 November 2026.
The new entity is expected to focus on areas including artificial intelligence, blockchain, digital financial infrastructure and global capability centre services. The move signals an effort to build dedicated capabilities in technology domains that can support the wider financial services ecosystem.
NPCI’s initiative comes as banks, fintech companies and public digital infrastructure programmes explore ways to use AI and other emerging technologies to improve service delivery, automate processes and strengthen digital platforms.
The creation of a separate technology vehicle may provide a structure through which NPCI can develop and deliver technology capabilities beyond the operation of its established payment systems.
