Digi Yatra is set to spread wings and will be available for international travellers before the end of 2025. That’s not all. The makeover plan includes using the app for hotel check-ins and hassle-free access to public places.
To enable the facility for foreign travellers, Digi Yatra Foundation (DYF), a non-profit organisation working on the project, will create e-passport verifiable credentials by integrating the soon-to-be-launched chip-enabled e-passports into the app. At present, it is prototype testing the e-passport-based enrollment. “We are eagerly waiting for the rollout of electronic passports in India to fast-track things at our end,” Suresh Khadakbhavi, CEO, DYF, said during an interaction with FE.
