Shares of One97 Communications, the parent company of Paytm, advanced 3.32 percent to hit their intraday high of ₹790.45 per share on the BSE on Tuesday, March 25, 2025. The northward movement in the Paytm share price came after the company announced that it is shifting to direct transaction processing.

According to media reports, Paytm has informed its merchants via email that “Effective from April 1, 2025, onwards, Paytm Payments Services Limited (PPSL) will be facilitating transactions that are routed directly to PPSL and will no longer facilitate transactions routed via Juspay.” The fintech giant has asked businesses to migrate before the deadline to avoid any inconvenience in payment services.
