New Delhi | Bengaluru: The Centre has eased regulations governing the acquisition and application of geospatial data — including maps — by Indian entities, in a far-reaching move that is expected to spur local innovation<\/a> and level the playing field for both public and private Indian companies. 新德里|班加罗尔:中心缓解了地理空间数据的采集与应用的规定,包括地图,印度实体,在深远的此举将刺激的地方创新和公平竞争的公共和私人的印度公司。
The liberalised mapping policy<\/a>, announced on Monday, allows private Indian firms to use high-precision satellite imagery—of 1 metre and below—on both land and in Indian territorial waters. This was hitherto reserved for strategic purposes only.
Private firms and startups<\/a> can now leverage data to build applications including more efficient and accurate delivery of online purchases to consumers’ doorsteps, industry executives said.
The policy<\/a> also makes it clear that foreign companies can only source such data—including land-based mobile mapping surveys and street views—from Indian firms where data is hosted on servers locally. Overseas firms cannot own such data. Internationally, companies such as Google<\/a> and Apple<\/a> offer products that give consumers a 360-degree view of a street. Google’s street view was banned in India<\/a> in 2016.
Officials said revised regulations will have no impact on satellite-based mapping services currently offered by companies like Google and Apple in India.
Ashutosh Sharma, secretary in the Department of Science and Technology, said “the liberalised policy will allow mapping data that has been restricted to a few departments, such as the Survey of India and National Remote Sensing Centre,” to now be “freely shared with other government departments and, for a nominal fee, with private Indian firms.”
A Google spokesperson said the company is studying guidelines. Apple did not reply to ET’s queries till press time.
Unlocking Huge Value: Experts<\/strong>
“With 1 metre resolution, more accurate mapping can be done for homes and in multi-storied buildings,” said Rohan Verma, chief executive of MapmyIndia<\/a>, an Indian map-based services provider. “Last-mile delivery will be more precise, without any hassle for customers, and ecommerce and mobility customers will see more efficiency and productivity.”
Experts are of the view that the new rules will allow local entrepreneurs to build applications employing mapping for use cases that are unique to India, and “unlock billions of dollars” of value in the country.
“This will help India have a little foot in the door in the global mapping ecosystem,” said Lalitesh Katragadda, who built Google’s map maker and Google Maps in India. He said the time and cost taken to build large scale infrastructure projects could reduce significantly, as satellite data can be used to monitor progress more effectively than physical presence.
Union minister of state for space Jitendra Singh said the government has previously used space technology for laying railway tracks, monitoring unmanned crossings, in housing, agriculture<\/a>, construction of bridges and telemedicine. He estimates that India’s geospatial sector could contribute as much as Rs 99,000 crore to the Indian economy by 2029. “We (are in) a phase where space technology has entered Indian households in one way or the other,” said Singh. “Similarly, by making mapping accessible to other stakeholders, we would be incentivising them to become partners in the development of new India.”
A Wider Space<\/strong>
Last year, India opened up its space sector, allowing private firms and startups to build rockets and satellites and launch them from Indian soil. It will also open up the earth observation data from its dozen-plus satellites in easy formats, so companies can build applications for use in areas such as infrastructure, traffic management and agriculture.
The country’s first private earth observation satellite, Anand-1, built by Bengaluru startup Pixxel, will be launched on an Indian Space Research Organisation rocket on February 28.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi<\/a> tweeted that India’s farmers will also benefit by leveraging the potential of geospatial and remote sensing data. “Democratising data will enable the rise of new technologies and platforms that will drive efficiencies in agriculture and allied sectors,” he said.
Infosys co-founder Nandan Nilekani, who is a champion of open use of data to enable economic progress, said on Twitter, “The new map policy is another strategic step in India’s journey of data empowerment!”

的自由化映射策略周一宣布,允许私人印度公司使用高精度卫星图像1米,比陆地和印度领海。这是迄今为止仅用于战略目的。
私人公司和创业公司现在可以利用数据来构建应用程序包括更高效和准确的交付消费者网上购物的台阶,业内高管说。
官员表示,修改后的条例将不影响卫星地图服务目前在印度像谷歌和苹果这样的公司提供的。
Ashutosh沙玛,科技部部长,说“自由化政策将允许映射数据仅限于几个部门,如印度和国家遥感中心的调查,”现在是“自由与其他政府部门和共享,以很少的钱与私人印度公司。”
谷歌发言人说,公司正在研究的指导方针。苹果没有回复直到截稿时间等的查询。
释放巨大的价值:专家
“1米分辨率,可以做更准确的映射在多层房屋和建筑,“Rohan Verma说的首席执行官MapmyIndia印度地图服务提供商。“最后一英里的交付将更准确地说,没有任何麻烦的客户,电子商务和移动客户将会看到更多的效率和生产力。”
专家认为,新规定将允许当地的企业家构建应用程序使用映射用例是独一无二的印度,和解锁数十亿美元的价值。
“这将帮助印度有点进门在全球生态系统的映射,“Lalitesh Katragadda说,谁建的谷歌地图和谷歌地图制造商在印度。他说,时间和成本采取构建大规模基础设施项目可以降低显著,随着卫星数据可以用来监测进展比实体店更有效。
联盟空间Jitendra部长辛格说,政府曾空间技术用于铺设铁轨,监控无人道口,在住房、农业、施工的桥梁和远程医疗。据他估计,印度的地理空间部门可以提供高达99000卢比到2029年印度经济。“我们(在)一个新阶段,空间技术已经进入印度家庭以一种方式或另一个,”辛格说。“同样,通过映射访问其他利益相关者,我们会开始鼓励他们成为合作伙伴在新印度的发展。”
更广泛的空间
去年,印度开放其空间领域,允许私营企业和创业公司建造和发射火箭和卫星。还将开放从十几家卫星地球观测数据简单的格式,所以企业可以构建应用程序使用等领域的基础设施、交通管理和农业。
该国第一个私人地球观测卫星,Anand-1,由班加罗尔启动Pixxel,将启动一个火箭在2月28日印度空间研究组织。
总理莫迪在推特上,印度的农民也将受益通过利用地理空间和遥感数据的潜力。“民主化的数据将使新技术和平台的兴起,将推动效率在农业和盟军的领域,”他说。
印孚瑟斯创始人之一南丹•尼勒卡尼的冠军开放使用的数据来支持经济发展,在推特上说,“新地图政策是另一个在印度战略步骤的数据授权之旅!”
