Transforming Infrastructure with GIS
Infrastructure remains a crucial economic driver for India, with the government emphasizing comprehensive development through large-scale programs such as Bharatmala, Sagarmala, NABH Nirman, High-Speed Rail Corridors, Ports, and Airports initiatives. Despite this, managing project complexity and ensuring timely completion poses significant challenges. This is where GIS (Geographic Information System) plays a pivotal role.
GIS provides a unified platform to oversee the entire infrastructure lifecycle, from planning to monitoring. It enables administrators, state departments, and other stakeholders to identify strategic infrastructure investments that deliver maximum benefits. Integrating technologies like Remote Sensing, Digital Twin, LiDAR, BIM, Drones/UAVs, 3D, Augmented Reality, Big Data, and the Internet of Things (IoT), GIS enhances efficiency and effectiveness in infrastructure management.
Join us at the Infrastructure & GIS Summit on September 6, 2024, during the Esri India User Conference. Discover the importance of GIS in your work and learn how to apply it effectively across the entire project lifecycle. Attendees will also receive a complimentary invitation to the plenary session of the Esri India User Conference, providing an opportunity to connect with business leaders and innovators from various industries, including government, defense, public safety, academia, and environmental sustainability. Witness firsthand how GIS is being leveraged across sectors.
