Those who travelled to India last winter do still recollect the dreadful congestion at New Delhi<\/a><\/span>, Mumbai, Chennai<\/a><\/span> and Bengaluru airports, where insufficient staffing and inbound as well as outbound passenger influx threw the system out of gear. During peak hours of daily arrival and departure, the Indian metro airports were so overcrowded that it evoked comparisons to \u2018Kumbh Mela\u2019, Kolkata\u2019s fish markets, and old Delhi\u2019s hawkers markets across social media.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Finally, India launches <\/strong>Fast Track Immigration Trusted Traveler Program (FTI-TTP)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

To avert a repeat of the grim airport congestion in India starting June 2024, the government launched a tech-driven immigration clearance process for pre-verified Indian nationals and OCI cardholders. Similar to the Global Entry program in USA, India\u2019s Fast Track Immigration \u2013 Trusted Traveler Program enables low-risk arrivals to bypass immigration queues and have a seamless travel experience.<\/p>\n
