India Expands Fast Track Immigration Facility to 13 Airports for Citizens and OCI Holders

In a major boost to international travel efficiency and security, the Government of India has expanded the Fast Track Immigration – Trusted Traveller Programme (FTI-TTP) to 13 major airports. The initiative enables Indian citizens and Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) cardholders to enjoy quicker immigration clearance, reducing wait times to as little as 30 seconds through automated e-Gates. Launched initially on June 22, 2024 at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport, the facility was extended in January 2025 to seven more airports – Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Cochin, and Ahmedabad. Recently, the program was rolled out to five additional airports: Lucknow, Thiruvananthapuram, Tiruchirappalli, Kozhikode, and Amritsar.
