Summary
- Paytm's parent company invested Rs22.50bn in its subsidiary.
- A new 'Hide Payments' feature offers enhanced user privacy.
- Paytm reported strong Q2FY26 profits and revenue growth.
One 97 Communications has successfully completed a significant Rs22.50bn investment in its wholly-owned subsidiary, Paytm Payments Services Limited (PPSL). This capital infusion was executed through a rights issue subscription, marking a key financial development for the company as of December 12, 2025. The strategic investment aims to bolster PPSL's operations and growth initiatives within the burgeoning digital payments sector.
In parallel, Paytm has launched an innovative in-app feature named 'Hide Payments.' This tool empowers users to conceal specific UPI transactions from their main history, storing them in a protected, PIN or biometric-secured section. This feature addresses growing user concerns for privacy, particularly in shared device environments, positioning Paytm as a unique provider of such granular transaction control.
Financially, Paytm demonstrated robust performance for the quarter ended September 2025 (Q2FY26). The company reported a net profit of Rs2.11bn before a one-time charge, with operating revenue surging 24% year-on-year to Rs20.61bn. This growth was fueled by an expanding base of subscription-paying merchants, increased payments GMV, and advancements in its financial services distribution, alongside an improved EBITDA margin of 7%.
