For credit cards - The RBI has instructed banks to partner with at least two card networks. The majority of cards should be distributed across two networks. This requirement was introduced to avoid situations like when Mastercard faced a ban, leading banks such as Yes Bank, Axis Bank, RBL Bank and Federal Bank to temporarily halt issuing credit cards.
Where did you find this in rbi circular? Rbi circular mentions no such thing. Does RBL/yes/Federal Bank even have 10L active cards? Unless they do, this directive doesn't apply to them.
Credit Card networks often enter into exclusive agreements, which prevent banks from partnering with other networks. Such agreements are no longer allowed to be signed.
This doesn't mean each cc has to be issued in multiple networks. This is sort of a law against anti competitive activity. If tomorrow diners threatens hdfc that either hdfc must stop issuing millenia in visa(meaning they can only issue in diners nw), else diner will stop issuing coveted DCB ; following which hdfc really does. Then that would be illegal.
It was already illegal through anti trust/fair competition laws.
Just that RBI has reiterated for this particular instance due to public interest leaving no room for multiple interpretation by businesses. Sadly now people( & so called finfluencer/journalists ) are still interpreting this straight forward circular as per their wish.

ICICI Sapphiro RuPay Credit Card is live -

 
Platinum as in image, but we can expect select
Just got a call from ICICI CC after emailing and twittering them to change my Sapphiro card to Rupay network.

Even though the card is showing up on the ICICI website, they told me it might take one more month for them to issue the Sapphiro Rupay variant for existing customers. Asked me to remind them if they don't revert back.

Hi, I received call from icici customer care last Saturday and was offered FYF sapphiro. I told to process the card and was told that would take 10 days to receive the card. But I haven't received any update regarding the same after that. I called the customer care today regarding the same and was told there wasn't any offer like that. So was that a legit offer and has anyone else received similar call in the past.
 
I got it based on LTF Sapp Dual cards, but they only processed it with the condition to cancel all other Sapphiro cards (and they did it!)
I too was told that this would happen to my sapphiro cards after I already held amex and they asked me to cancel amex + mc while applying for visa variant. I didn't cancel, they didn't cancel and ultimately I held all 3. This is what happened with almost everyone.

Looks like u were unlucky as in ur case they themselves cancelled other variants.
Maybe they a tally started actively canceling cards or else ICICI never cancels old card when they deliver a new one😅
