Dubai Duty Free offers a wide range of products across categories including fashion, beauty, electronics, confectionery, beverages, watches and jewellery at Dubai International Airport and Al Maktoum International Airport.

Under this collaboration, Network International enables UPI acceptance across participating Dubai Duty Free payment terminals and supports the processing of UPI transactions.

The offer adds value to the airport shopping experience for Indian travellers while further expanding the use of UPI across key retail touchpoints in the UAE.

NPCI International has been working with payment providers including Network International, NeoPay and Magnati to expand UPI acceptance across sectors frequented by visitors. Besides Dubai Duty Free, the payment platform is also available at Lulu Hypermarket, and is increasingly being rolled out across hospitality, retail, supermarkets and travel-related businesses.
