Bartronics is also participating in the pilot project for National ID Programme. It is undertaking the pilot project for smart ATM cum debit card for some Indian Banks. In addition, it has begun supplying smart driving licenses to some of the state governments.

Bartronics is leveraging its domestic strength to expand into South-East Asian and US markets. Its wholly owned subsidiaries at Singapore and in US are actively looking at acquisitions for fuelling their aggressive growth plans.
