"Markets" here means some limited ability to transfer to/from India, but nobody uses UPI for domestic transactions in these places.

Singapore has an equivalent system called PayNow, which is equally instant and ubiquitous.

PayNow (NETS) works with ~5 banks and is effective within a place as large as major city. Hardly an analog.

I'm responding to the earlier claim that UPI can be used in Singapore (or anywhere outside India), which is really not the case.
