Indian retail chain rolls out support for CBDC payments in stores: Report By Cointelegraph

One of India’s biggest retail chains, Reliance Retail, announced that they have started accepting the digital rupee at one of its store lines and plans to extend the rollout to all its businesses.

In a report by Tech Crunch, the company said central bank digital currency (CBDC) support is already rolled out at Freshpik, its gourmet store line. In addition, the firm also noted that it would be expanding support for the digital rupee to all of its properties, a move that could push adoption forward for the country’s CBDC.
