Digital payments are rapidly becoming the preferred method for everyday transactions around the world, including EV charging. That’s why OCA has published a whitepaper on UPI (Unified Payments Interface) in collaboration with the India Smart Grid Forum. OCA works with ISGF on a regular basis to follow and address market developments in India. The whitepaper was presented on November 4 during the Distribution Utility Meet (DUM).

UPI is widely used in India and enables instant account-to-account payments using QR codes or mobile apps. It has transformed digital transactions, offering instant, 24/7 payments directly between bank accounts. This capability makes it a natural fit for public EV charging, where drivers can pay quickly without the friction of cards, wallets, or cash.
Our whitepaper explores how UPI can be integrated into EV-charging payments, looking at both simple and advanced integration models. It highlights how OCPP supports these scenarios through features such as remote transaction control and prepaid transaction limits.
Would you like to learn more about OCPP and how it supports mobile-first solutions? In an OCA webinar on November 21, we will dive deeper into M-PESA, a payment system that is widely used in Kenya and other African countries.
