Paytm, the parent company of One97 Communications, experienced a surge in its stock price, reaching the upper circuit for the second consecutive trading session. The stock price rose by 18.50 points or 4.99% to reach 389.20. This increase comes after Paytm received approval from the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) to join the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) as a third-party application provider under the multi-bank model. The move is viewed positively by Morgan Stanley, which maintained an Equal Weight stance and a target price of Rs 555. The approval marks an important milestone for Paytm as it ensures continuity in UPI transactions and AutoPay mandates for existing users and merchants. This development also signifies a potential shift in Paytm’s business model towards closer collaborations with banks and regulated entities.
