The contract, which spans a period of six years, involves the establishment and operation of District-Level Aadhaar Seva Kendras (ASKs) in 188 districts across India. These centers will be crucial hubs for a variety of Aadhaar-related services, including:
Appointment-based and walk-in Aadhaar enrollment for new applicants.
Update facilities for existing Aadhaar holders.
Other miscellaneous Aadhaar-related services.
This project, which is classified as an outsourcing delivery of public services, highlights the government's push to make Aadhaar services more accessible and convenient for citizens in both urban and semi-urban areas. The substantial value of the contract is expected to significantly boost Protean eGov's revenue and strengthen its position as a key partner in India's digital public infrastructure.
This UIDAI contract comes as a welcome boost for Protean eGov, particularly after the company was not shortlisted for the Income Tax Department's PAN 2.0 project earlier this year. The news of the win has had a very positive impact on the company's stock, with shares skyrocketing by more than 10% following the announcement.
In other recent developments, Protean eGov Technologies reported its Q1 FY26 financial results, showing a 13.1% rise in net profit to ₹23.85 crore and a 7.3% increase in net sales to ₹210.84 crore compared to the same period last year. These results, combined with the new UIDAI contract, signal a strong growth trajectory for the company as it continues to focus on developing and implementing large-scale e-governance solutions for the nation.
