Nagpur Airport Introduces Single-Step Face Recognition with DigiYatra-Enabled Gates
Nagpur Airport has rolled out a major upgrade to its DigiYatra system: passengers can now enter through DigiYatra-enabled gates using single-step face recognition only.
No boarding pass scan needed:
Once registered on the DigiYatra app and linked with your boarding pass, you can simply walk up to the gate. Facial recognition alone will authenticate you and open the gate automatically.
Faster, seamless entry:
This eliminates manual document checks and reduces waiting time.
Contactless travel:
Enhances convenience while improving operational efficiency and hygiene.
How It Worked Earlier
- Passengers had to scan their boarding pass at the DigiYatra gate before facial recognition verified their identity.
- Now, that step is gone — making the process smoother and quicker.
Why It Matters
According to GMR Nagpur International Airport’s CEO, this upgrade is part of their focus on enhancing passenger experience by simplifying verification and reducing manual interventions. It builds on the DigiYatra ecosystem to deliver a more efficient, contactless journey.
