On November 1, 2023, the Survey of India (SoI) entered into an agreement with C.E. Info Systems Pvt. Ltd. to develop a National Geo-Spatial Platform to strengthen India's National Geospatial Ecosystem and implement the vision of the National Geospatial Policy, 2022. The platform will serve as a unified digital infrastructure for aggregating, harmonizing and disseminating authentic and accurate foundational geospatial data & services to support governance, research, industry, and citizen-centric applications across the country. The National Geo-Platform will standardize, share, and manage foundational geospatial datasets including Ortho-Rectified Imagery, Digital Elevation Models (DEM), Administrative Boundaries, Geodetic Reference Frame, and Geographical Names. It will facilitate access to accurate and authoritative spatial data through web services, APIs, and mobile applications, promoting data interoperability and collaboration among Central Government Ministries/Departments, academia, and industry and fostering innovation and sustainable development. Key components of the platform include a Geospatial Data integration & dissemination System, Integrated Geospatial Application Interface (IGAI), and a Spatial Data Registry (SDR) for metadata management.

Survey of India’s National Geo Platform –
Spatially Enabling Digital India
Posted On: 01 NOV 2025 8:08PM by PIB Delhi
In a major initiative to strengthen India’s National Geospatial Ecosystem and implement the vision of
the National Geospatial Policy, 2022, Survey of India (SoI), Government of India, has entered into an
agreement with C.E. Info Systems Pvt. Ltd. for the development of a state-of-the-art National Geo-
Spatial Platform. The platform will serve as a unified digital infrastructure for aggregating,
harmonizing and disseminating authentic and accurate foundational geospatial data & services to
support governance, research, industry, and citizen-centric applications across the country. This
initiative marks a major milestone in India’s efforts to build an integrated and collaborative ecosystem
for geospatial data dissemination.
The National Geo-Platform will serve as a robust and scalable system for standardizing, sharing, and
managing foundational geospatial datasets — including Ortho-Rectified Imagery, Digital Elevation
Models (DEM), Administrative Boundaries, Geodetic Reference Frame, and Geographical Names. It
will facilitate seamless access to accurate and authoritative spatial data through web services, APIs,
and mobile applications, promoting data interoperability and collaboration among Central
Government Ministries/Departments, academia, and industry and fostering innovation and sustainable
development. Key components of the platform include a Geospatial Data integration & dissemination
System, Integrated Geospatial Application Interface (IGAI), and a Spatial Data Registry (SDR) for
metadata management.
This collaboration underscores the Survey of India’s continuing leadership as the nodal agency for
foundational geospatial data and reinforces the Government’s commitment to promote a data-driven,
spatially enabled economy which would contribute to India’s progress and prosperity.*****
