IDEMIA Selected as Technology Partner by DIAL for DigiYatra
IDEMIA, the global leader in identity technologies and
biometric solutions, announces that it has been selected as the technology
partner by GMR Group for DigiYatra. "DigiYatra" is an industry-led initiative coordinated by the
Aviation Ministry in line with Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s Digital
India vision to transform the nation into a digitally empowered society.
Over the last one and
a half years, IDEMIA has worked tirelessly alongside DIAL in solution
development and delivery of a live POC. Our solution was successfully tested,
and IDEMIA was finally awarded the contract. Under this contract, DigiYatra
will use IDEMIA’s facial recognition technology at Delhi, Hyderabad, and Goa to
verify the identity of domestic flyers, making terminal entry and security
clearance at the airport a seamless, hassle-free, and paperless process.
IDEMIA, by applying its award-winning facial
recognition and digital technologies, is contributing to DigiYatra by making
travel more convenient for passengers while safeguarding their privacy and
security. Contactless biometric technologies mitigate hygiene concerns and
help regain the confidence of travelers. Advanced fingerprint, face, and iris
recognition devices designed by IDEMIA for airports are not just ‘simple
touchless technologies’ - they identify travelers on the move, enabling
greater efficiency and a smooth passenger journey while respecting the user's
privacy. It aims to provide Indian passengers with a novel and digital
experience, making their flying experience smoother, faster, and more secure,
for those who give the consent to use the DigiYatra platform. Matthew Foxton, India Regional President, IDEMIA
INDIA said, "Over the last 27 years in the country, IDEMIA has
partnered with mission-critical and digital transformation projects in India
like JandhanYojna and Aadhaar program. We are thrilled to collaborate and
partner with GMR Group for DigiYatra, yet another exemplary digitalization
initiative of the Government of India. As a market leader for passenger flow
facilitation solutions, we strive to constantly innovate to safeguard passenger

on the move - without slowing them down, especially at airports where long
queues can lead to costly delays - is crucial. We are glad to partner with
IDEMIA's best-in-class Passenger Flow Facilitation solution, which will
enable and speed up passenger clearance and increase security with embedded
anti-spoofing capabilities with the least manual intervention."
