NHAI Adopts GIS for National Highway Land Acquisition

05 Jul 2024 CW Team

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is set to implement a GIS-based system for land acquisition in upcoming national highway projects. This move aims to streamline the acquisition process, enhance transparency, and improve efficiency in land management for infrastructure development.

GIS, or Geographic Information System, technology will enable NHAI to create detailed digital maps of land parcels, ensuring accurate and real-time data on land ownership, usage, and topography. By leveraging GIS, NHAI aims to expedite land acquisition processes, reduce disputes, and ensure fair compensation for landowners.

The adoption of GIS-based land acquisition marks a significant step towards modernizing infrastructure development in India. This technology will provide precise information, facilitating better planning and execution of highway projects. It will also help in identifying potential obstacles and environmental concerns early in the project cycle.

The initiative aligns with the government's vision of enhancing infrastructure development through technological integration. NHAI?s use of GIS will not only accelerate the pace of national highway projects but also ensure that land acquisition processes are conducted more transparently and equitably.
