Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport has introduced the 'Fast Track Immigration-Trusted Traveller Programme (FTI-TTP),' a first in India. This initiative targets both Indian passport holders and Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) cardholders. Union Home Minister Amit Shah inaugurated the project by unveiling dedicated counters for Trusted Traveller members at Terminal 3 of Delhi Airport. The FTI-TTP aims to simplify and speed up travel for Indian nationals and OCI cardholders, reflecting the government's commitment to enhancing travel convenience.
Application Process
Eligible individuals must complete an online application to join the scheme. The registration process can take up to a month, and applicants need a passport valid for at least six months. Membership lasts as long as the passport remains valid.
Applicants must provide their biometrics, including fingerprints and a facial photograph, along with other necessary data. Registration is finalised after verifying eligibility and conducting required checks.
Benefits of the Programme
This service aims to reduce airport congestion by offering expedited emigration/immigration clearance for pre-verified travellers. Terminal 3 at Delhi Airport has eight electronic gates—four for arrivals and four for departures—to ensure a smooth experience. Additional counters may be added based on demand.
