The New Map of Indian Luxury: Powered by Visa, Driven by Aspirations
Step into a rooftop café in Indore or cruise through Coimbatore's villa-lined enclaves, and you'll notice a quiet transformation taking place. Affluence in India is no longer tethered to its traditional metro strongholds. Visa's recent whitepaper, Bridging the Gap: Payments in India Beyond Metros, brings this evolution into sharp focus. Credit card spending in non-metro cities has surged 4X between 2019 and 2024—outpacing metro growth and signaling a rising tide of premium consumption. In fact, users in Tier 2 and 3 cities are now spending over ₹ 2 lakh per card annually—more than three times the metro average. This isn't just economic expansion—it's a recalibration of where, and how, luxury is defined in India. Today, the new luxury story is being written in non-metro India — by a generation that's ambitious, digitally fluent, and seeking more than just status. They're after curated privileges, intuitive access, and security. And Visa is empowering them with personalised offerings that match their pace and priorities —not just by offering access, but by elevating each experience. Visa Infinite: Luxury Tailored for India's New Affluent As affluence grows beyond metros, consumer expectations are evolving. Today's premium customer is not only looking for elevated products but also for experiences that are seamless, secure, and deeply personal. For this rising class of affluent Indians, Visa Infinite is more than a payment card—it's a gateway to a lifestyle where convenience meets exclusivity. Visa Infinite brings together a global ecosystem of premium services designed for those who value thoughtful luxury and effortless living. Whether it's 24/7 concierge services or Visa's Meet and Greet service—offering travelers a smooth, queue-free airport journey from arrival to boarding—Visa Infinite is built to anticipate and respond to the needs of high-frequency travelers. Cardholders can access curated menus and exclusive dining privileges through the Dine with Visa program, which offers gastronomic experiences at select fine-dining restaurants. Those looking to unwind enjoy extended-stay offers and bespoke hospitality experiences across multiple ITC Hotels properties and ELIVAAS-managed premium stays, ensuring every stay feels like a retreat designed just for them. Security That Matches the Stakes Unrestricted access only matters when backed by uncompromising trust. As high-value transactions grow—across luxury travel, fine dining, and premium retail—the need for invisible, intelligent security has never been greater. Visa's cybersecurity infrastructure works quietly behind the scenes, protecting every transaction without disrupting the experience. From tokenized payments mandated by the Reserve Bank of India, which mask sensitive data, to AI-powered tools that detect and stop fraud in milliseconds, Visa's layers of security are engineered to match the expectations of a high-trust environment. Over the last five years, Visa has invested more than $12 billion in technology to ensure payments remain not just fast and convenient, but safe and resilient. This includes the formalisation of a dedicated Scam Disruption Practice, which alone helped prevent over $350 million in losses globally last year. That's in addition to the $40 billion in fraud attempts blocked by Visa's Payment Ecosystem Risk and Control framework. A Global Network That Moves With You Spending by India's upwardly mobile consumers now extends far beyond national borders. At the recent Coldplay concert in the UAE, in-person spending by Indian Visa cardholders jumped by 70%—a clear signal that global experiences are no longer rare indulgences; they're a growing part of India's luxury vocabulary. Visa's network spans more than 200 countries and territories, and its four-decade presence in India allows it to tailor global innovation for local relevance. From contactless payments to co-branded cards crafted for the Indian premium consumer, Visa continues to fuel this outward lifestyle with seamless, secure, and scalable experiences. In this new landscape, luxury is no longer about accumulation — it's about freedom and access. Whether that means a Visa Infinite cardholder enjoying bespoke concierge support and global privileges, or a Visa Signature user unlocking domestic travel benefits, extended warranties, and exclusive offers — the idea is simple: luxury should meet you where you are and grow with you. According to the Knight Frank Wealth Report 2025, India is home to 85,698 high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs), making it the fourth-largest HNWI population globally— and this number is only expected to grow. But the real momentum lies in the rise of aspirational affluents from cities once considered peripheral. They're no longer waiting for luxury to find them—they're defining it on their own terms. And Visa, with its global expertise and local understanding, is enabling them to do just that — one seamless, secure, and elevated experience at a time.

Indian mkts likely to go up in Q3: Morgan Stanley
Mumbai: Indian stock markets are more likely to rise than fall in the third quarter of the financial year 2026 (Q3 FY26), Morgan Stanley said in a note on Friday. The global brokerage remains bullish on Indian equities, expecting strong growth data, supportive moves by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), and better-than-expected corporate earnings to push the market higher from July onwards.

Government spending is increasing, and the RBI appears to be moving towards a more supportive or 'dovish' policy combined with easing inflation, is creating a good environment for the stock market. The brokerage also believes that lower interest rates will help banks lend more, boosting lending addition, if global uncertainties reduce, Indian companies may begin to invest more in new of the key triggers could be the upcoming corporate earnings season.

For example, if oil prices fall sharply, it could indicate global economic trouble, which would not be good for these risks, Morgan Stanley believes that strong participation from retail investors and continued foreign interest will help cushion any downside. Indian equities also benefit from a 'scarcity premium' and long-term reforms like GST changes and infrastructure development, which add to investor valuations are currently high compared to historical levels, the brokerage feels they are justified given the strong earnings outlook.

FPIs Make Net Investment Of Over Rs 13,000 Cr Into Indian Stocks This Week
New Delhi: Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) made a net investment of Rs 13,107.54 crore into Indian markets during the week of June 23 to June 27, according to data released by the National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL). The inflow reflects strong investor confidence in Indian equities. The data showed that FPIs made heavy investments in the Indian equity market, especially on Monday and Friday, indicating a positive shift in sentiment. With these fresh inflows, the total net investment by foreign investors in the month of June has now reached Rs 8,915 crore. This turnaround in foreign investor activity comes after geopolitical tensions between the US, Iran, and Israel eased in recent days. The easing of tensions has improved global market sentiment, encouraging foreign investors to look at emerging markets like India more positively. Additionally, strong domestic fundamentals are supporting this renewed interest. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) recently cut interest rates by 50 basis points in its latest Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting, which is expected to boost economic growth. Moreover, inflation in the Indian economy remains at a low level, further strengthening investor confidence. The combination of global stability, policy support, and strong macroeconomic indicators has made India an attractive destination for foreign investment at this time. On the domestic front, important drivers will be macroeconomic indicators, institutional buying support, and sector-specific triggers such as monsoon progress, consumption trends, and infrastructure push. These elements are expected to determine stock specific movements and FPI behaviour in the short term. Earlier in May, the net foreign portfolio investment (FPI) inflows remained in positive and stood at Rs 19,860 crore, making May the best-performing month so far this year in terms of foreign investment. The previous months' data also showed that FPIs had sold stocks worth Rs 3,973 crore in March. In January and February, they had sold equities worth Rs 78,027 crore and Rs 34,574 crore, respectively.
