TCS to rollout chip-based passports by the end of this year: What are e-passports and all that will change

According to a report in Economic Times (ET), TCS is also setting up a new command and control centre with the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) as well as new data centre to support the backend requirements of the project. Earlier this year, the ministry renewed its 10-year PSK deal worth over Rs 6,000 crore with TCS. This is part of the second phase of the passport project that the company bagged from the government. This passport project is said to be the country's largest mission-critical e-governance programme till date. Here's a ready reckoner on e-passports and the recent updates on the rollout.
