DGCA Develops AI-driven eGCA 2.0 for Aviation Oversight
A safety-critical sector regtech deployment combining AI and blockchain offers a comparable case study for Australian regulators exploring similar modernisation - though no immediate APS action follows.
Key points
- India's DGCA is tendering for an AI, ML, and blockchain platform to modernise aviation regulatory oversight.
- Limited direct relevance to Australian federal agencies - a peer-jurisdiction regtech case study at most.
- Predictive surveillance and decision-intelligence modules in safety-critical sectors raise auditability and explainability questions relevant globally.
Implications for Australian agencies
- Monitor Australian safety regulators (e.g. CASA) or agencies exploring AI-assisted regulatory oversight may want to monitor how DGCA's eGCA 2.0 procurement and technical requirements evolve as a comparable case study.
Implications are AI-generated. Starting points, not advice — see methodology for how they're framed.

India's Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is developing an eGCA 2.0 platform that would integrate AI, machine learning, blockchain, decision-intelligence, and predictive surveillance capabilities for aviation regulatory oversight. Tender documents reviewed by The Hindu BusinessLine indicate the DGCA is seeking a Technology Project Management Unit to support implementation, with cybersecurity and data-protection compliance as core requirements. The proposed system aims to streamline approvals and strengthen monitoring. The item is sourced via a news aggregator and relies on secondary reporting; technical specifications and procurement timelines remain unpublished.
Implications for Australian agencies:
- [Monitor] Australian safety regulators (e.g. CASA) or agencies exploring AI-assisted regulatory oversight may want to monitor how DGCA's eGCA 2.0 procurement and technical requirements evolve as a comparable case study.
