In order to consolidate its position in the $62 million smart cards market in the country, Bartronics India Ltd (BIL) launched its new range of products on smartcards at the ongoing Smartcards Expo 2008 held in New Delhi on Wednesday.

Manufactured by Bartronics, these smart cards are targeted at software development companies to use for application development (for SIM, mass transit and other embedded systems applications).

Speaking with media people Sudhir Rao, MD, Bartronics India said, “We expect most of the software companies working on embedded systems technology to adopt BIL operating systems over the next two to three years, thereby enabling them to participate in the exploding smart card industry in India.”

Experts believe that in the coming years the smart card industry will witness a boom at an enormous speed of 30 per cent in India.
