Yes, you will need to update your new Indian passport details in your OCI card if you are under the age of 20 and have issued a new passport. If you are 50 years of age or above and obtain a new passport, it is not mandatory to renew your OCI card. However, you can update your OCI card and add new passport details to your OCI through the official OCI services website.
