The RBI’s Annual Report 2024–25 showed e-rupee circulation at ₹1,016.5 crore as of March 2025, with around 60 lakh users participating in the pilot. More recent data suggests steady expansion.

Rabi Sankar said retail e-rupee transactions had crossed 120 million in volume, with total value exceeding ₹28,000 crore and the user base rising to over 80 lakh.
