During October-December 2022, the number of total loan disbursements grew 137 per cent y-o-y to 1.05 crore cumulative loans. The total disbursements during the three-month period ended December 2022 stood at Rs 9,958 crore, a growth of 357 per cent y-o-y.
“The total merchant gross merchandise value (GMV) processed through our platform for the quarter ended December 2022 aggregated to Rs 3.46 lakh cr ($42 billion), marking a y-o-y growth of 38 per cent. Our focus over the past few quarters continues to be on payment volumes that generate profitability for us, either through net payments margin or from direct upsell potential,” Paytm said in a statement.
It added that with a focus on creating additional payment monetisation beyond MDR, Paytm’s focus on subscription services continues to expand. The company continues to strengthen its leadership in offline payments, with 5.8 million merchants now paying subscription for payment devices.

The Paytm Super App continues to see growing consumer engagement with the average MTU (monthly transacting users) for the quarter ended December 2022 at 85 million, registering a growth of 32 per cent y-o-y.
