Sealys SCOSTA at work in India

In 2003, Gemplus and Axalto (now merged into Gemalto) were both selected as smart card technology suppliers to deliver smart card modules and SCOSTA compliant smart card OS.

Today Gemalto has delivered smart card technology to the first phase of India’s vehicle registration program, which was officially launched in the state of New Delhi at the end of 2004, with other states to follow. More than 4 million smart cards have been delivered so far.

The program is expected to be the world’s largest of its kind, with a market potential of over 100 million cards issued nationwide over the following years
