They are purposely delaying the rollout to the entire 400+ million subscriber base coz they fear that it will cause a market disruption if there is mass adoption of it for UPI payments. Currently the market is dominated by PhonePe and Google pay.
But PhonePe is cornering around 49% market share and needs to bring it down to under 30% by end of 2022 as per NPCI guidelines. So WhatsApp pay will help balance out this market share imbalance.
