Yeah, the VISA comparison isn’t apt either. Maybe if VISA had a higher market share.

The RBI initiated process to setup a parallel body to NPCI, but that will take eons in fintech time.

The non-government status is important because the NPCI fought a case (and won) to keep it out of the ambit of the Right yo Information act. It is an opaque institution with a government granted monopoly that is also simultaneously a cartel of sorts.
