Paytm plans to open about 50,000 retail outlets across India, expanding its physical merchant and consumer-facing retail footprint.

Why this matters

The proposed store rollout follows Paytm's ClearTax partnership for ₹11 in-app ITR filing and Jefferies' view that Paytm could become India's largest merchant platform online and offline.

Store-opening is steady, with 1,580 signals recorded in the past 90 days.
