As per RedSeer, a strategy consulting firm, “On the like-to-like comparison, MobiKwik has ~48% share of the PPI wallet GMV in May 2024. MobiKwik does not offer FASTag services. As a result, the GMV of NETC FASTag has been excluded from the total PPI wallets GMV when compared, as most banks’ PPI wallets are primarily used for FASTag transactions. In this analysis, it is assumed that all FASTag transactions recorded on NETC are processed solely through Wallets.”
