TCS could roll out chip based e-passports by the end of 2022

Tata Consultancy Services ( TCS ) could roll out chip-based e-passports by the end of the year, a senior executive told ET. TCS is also setting up a new command and control centre with the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) as well as a new data centre to support the backend requirements of the project.

This is part of the second phase of the passport project the company had bagged from the government recently.
