It would also be interesting to test whether adding an Indian payment method or signing up for UPI is feasible now with the app in this state. If so, that would be the best of both worlds for frequent travelers / NRIs who have access to Indian banks.

Other Indian mobile wallets like PayTM simply don't let you sign up with a non-Indian phone number.

Just to report back: adding my HDFC NRO account or Rupay card to the app was not possible since it is linked to my German mobile number. My Indian mobile numer is not linked to any bank account so that didn't work either. However I once use the app/phone to pay using NFC (or 'tap' as its called in India) and it worked without issues.
