Overview

• Located at the Vaikuntham Queue Complex–I, the Integrated Command and Control Centre is presented as India’s first AI-integrated hub for a pilgrimage ecosystem.
• Officials say more than 6,000 AI cameras feed real-time analytics, with systems claiming capacity for 360,000 payloads per minute and 518 million events daily, plus billions of inferences.
• Features include facial recognition–assisted identification for missing persons, automated distress alerts, 3D-guided evacuation routes, misinformation monitoring, and 24x7 staffing by trained personnel.
• Authorities describe benefits such as shorter and more predictable queues for pilgrims, unified situational awareness for staff, and faster, coordinated emergency response.
• TTD says the centre runs on AI/ML with NVIDIA-backed infrastructure and was built under a pro bono public–private model funded by diaspora donors.
