Indian consular services, including passport renewals, are now provided on a temporary, limited walk-in basis at the Embassy and Consulate.
The disruption is caused by a legal dispute regarding the appointment of a new outsourcing provider for consular applications.
Services are available on a first-come-first-served basis from 9 AM to 12:30 PM, with strict entry rules and cash-only payments.
The transition to the new provider, Alhind Tours and Travels, is currently stalled due to a status quo order from the Supreme Court.
