India extends Digi Yatra trials to selected international flights
Digi Yatra trials for international departures have begun at seven Indian airports, Mint reported on 1 November 2026. They cover eligible Indian citizens holding e-passports on selected Air India and IndiGo flights.
Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kochi, Mumbai, Chennai and Amritsar are participating. Travellers must generate e-passport-based digital credentials in the app. Their use at terminal entry, security areas and boarding depends on the infrastructure available.
Trials are scheduled for November and December, with passenger feedback informing a possible wider rollout in 2027, according to the Civil Aviation Ministry cited by Mint. The scheme supplements existing procedures: it does not remove travel document requirements, airline checks or immigration formalities.
