Digi Yatra will be implemented at Kolkata, Pune, Vijayawada and Hyderabad Airports by March this year. 

The Digi Yatra policy is an initiative for a biometric boarding system using Facial Recognition Technology at airports. 

Digi Yatra will be implemented across airports in a phased manner. In the first phase, Digi Yatra has been launched at Delhi, Bangalore and Varanasi Airports in December last year.

It aims at providing a seamless and hassle-free experience for passengers at airports. To give wide publicity to Digi Yatra, Airport Operators and Airline Operators are doing in-flight announcements, through boarding passes, providing help desk support and displaying banners and films.

The project, under implementation stage, aims at providing seamless and hassle-free experience for passengers at airports. 

Its main objective is to enhance passenger experience by eliminating the need for verification of ticket and ID at multiple touch points and to achieve better throughput through existing infrastructure using a Digital Framework. 

M/s Dataevolve Solutions has built FRT based Digi Yatra Central Ecosystem. It has been selected through a national start-up challenge run by NitiAayog under the Atal Innovation Mission.
Digi Yatra is a voluntary facility for providing passengers seamless and hassle-free experience at the Airports. 

In the Digi Yatra process, there is no central storage of passenger's Personally Identifiable Information (PII) data. All the passenger's data is encrypted and stored in the wallet of the passenger's smartphone and shared only for a limited time duration with the airport of travel origin where passenger's Digi Yatra ID needs to be validated. 

The data is purged from the system within 24 hours of flight. Facilities with implementation of the Digi Yatra provides Touchless Passenger Validation through FRT which results in saving time at various touchpoints like entry to airport, Security Hold Area (SHA) and Boarding Area with no CISF intervention.
