E-Governance to Create Huge Oppurtunities for the Indian Smart Card Industry

A new study from IMARC Group expects the total shipment volume of smart cards in E-Governance

projects to reach 372 Million by 2016.

In order to make its citizen services transparent, cost effective, efficient, timely and hassle free; the Indian

government decided to integrate the benefits of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in its

services through E-Governance. The Government of India had initiated its E-Governance programme in

the late 1990s. Later in May 2006, the Union Government approved the National E-Governance Plan

(NeGP), comprising of 27 Mission Mode Projects (MMPs) and 8 components to give a boost to E-

Governance initiatives in India.

A new study from IMARC Group entitled “Indian Smart Cards Market Report & Forecast 2011-2016” finds

that E-Governance initiatives by the central and state governments are expected to create huge

opportunities for the Indian smart cards industry. Findings from the study suggests that smart cards are

expected to form a core part of a number of E-Governance projects such as the National Population

Register Project, MNREGA, RSBY, ECHS, E-passports, Ration Cards, Drivers License, Vehicle

Registration Certificates, PAN Cards, Ticketing etc. The study which has done a comprehensive analysis

on various E-Governance projects expects the total shipment volume of smart cards in these projects to

grow at a CAGR of 43% in the next five years reaching 372 Million by 2016.
