Geospatial Data Interface (GDI)
You are here:
Integrated Geospatial Data sharing Interface
The GDI platform provides easy and controlled access to geospatial data from both public and private sources. With its powerful spatial analytics engine, it connects data providers and consumers, unlocking the full potential of geospatial technologies.
Originating from the National Geospatial Policy (NGP 2022), GDI enables liberalized, standardized, and interoperable access to India’s geospatial resources—critical for driving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and economic growth.
Key Features & Objectives:
- Open API-based data exchange for seamless interoperability.
- Catalogue of datasets with metadata for easy discovery.
- Secure identity, consent, and authorization mechanisms.
- Built-in Spatial Analytics Engine for advanced processing.
- Support for geospatial algorithms (LULC classification, spatio-temporal interpolation, etc.).
GDI acts as a public digital infrastructure, ensuring geospatial data is discoverable, usable, and impactful across domains.
