G20 travellers may now make purchases at a few international airports (in Bengaluru, Mumbai, and New Delhi) using this service. The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has confirmed that these ten nations are permitted to use the service: Singapore, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Oman, Qatar, the United States of America (USA), Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and the United Kingdom.
