Minister for Civil Aviation, Ram Mohan Naidu, today launched the Electronic Personnel License (EPL), making India the second country in the world to digitalize pilot licenses.

Ensuring a tamper-proof and robust licensing system, EPL sets a new benchmark in aviation regulatory excellence. Indian pilots can now securely carry their licenses on their mobile phones via the eGCA app, with real-time access for global agencies. This step places India at the forefront of regulatory excellence, enhancing interoperability and safety. Secretary Civil Aviation V. Vualnam, DGCA DG Sh. Faiz Ahmed, BCAS DG Sh.
