In Telangana, BHIM’s growth mirrors the broader national trend, with transaction volumes tripling between June 2025 and May 2026.

In May 2026, groceries accounted for 23.9 per cent of merchant transactions on the platform in the state, followed by food outlets (18.1 per cent) and quick commerce (11.6 per cent).

“What is particularly encouraging is that this growth is being driven by transactions across categories such as groceries, food outlets and quick commerce, indicating a growing shift towards digital payments for routine spending,” she said.

As consumers increasingly embraced convenient payment experiences, NBSL remained focused on building solutions that were simple, seamless and accessible for every user, Nataraj said.

The app supports over 15 regional languages, including Telugu, and is optimised for low-connectivity environments, enabling deeper digital payments adoption across rural and semi-urban areas, the release added.
