The Department of Posts is advancing an initiative to establish a standardized, geo-coded addressing system in India, for ensuring simplified addressing solutions for citizen-centric delivery of public and private services. In this regard, the Department had collaborated with IIT Hyderabad for developing a National Addressing Grid, named as Digital Postal Index Number (DIGIPIN). This system will act as a strong and robust pillar of Geospatial Governance, leading to enhancements in public service delivery, faster emergency response and a significant boost to logistics efficiency.

The DIGIPIN layer will act as the addressing reference system which can be used for logically locating addresses with directional properties built into it due to the logical naming pattern followed in its construction.

The DIGIPIN is proposed to be fully available in the public domain and can be easily accessed by everyone. The DIGIPIN Grid system being an addressing referencing system, can be used as the base layer for other ecosystems, including various service providers and utilities, where addressing is one of the processes in the workflow.

This system will act as a strong and robust pillar of Geospatial Governance, leading to enhancements in public service delivery, faster emergency response and a significant boost to logistics efficiency.

The advent of DIGIPIN will mark a revolutionary step in India’s journey towards digital transformation by bridging the crucial gap between physical locations and their digital representation.

The Department has released a beta version of National Addressing Grid ‘DIGIPIN’ on 19.07.2024 for public feedback, the details of which may be accessed through the India Post website: https://www.indiapost.gov.in/vas/Pages/digipin.aspx

The Department of Post in collaboration with MyGov cordially invites you to explore the beta platform and provide constructive feedback, which will help in fine tuning the specifications of the DIGIPIN.

Yes, in Real estate industry, after the coming of RERA in which builders have to specify what they are offering and they are held accountable for that, similarly the contractors or agencies should also be issued some kind of similar certificate which holds them responsible and in public domain. Very well thought, Dr. Sachin.

Looking after Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj statue issue, past railway overbridge collapse issue in Mumbai, highway bridge- river overbridge cillapse, etc i would suggest to put a board for each development mentioning contact number of contractor or agency and related publicly elected corporator or local politician of lowest rank in that area where the incident happened . We as public want to know who is answerable. This will check wrongdoins also public can act as whitleblower. Sir, in railways if you can provide helpline for blankets why not provide such for each infra build. I am looking forward for a positive reply. Dr Sachin P Lohiya - Mumbai

The Coordinate Reference System (CRS) used in the proposed code design is EPSG:4326. Using EPSG:4326 (also known as WGS84) has several advantages like wide recognition and adoption, simplicity and global coverage.

The choice of the corner points of the bounding box are based on the following considerations:  This includes the entire territory of India.  Includes the maritime Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), and therefore DIGIPIN allows to provide addresses to Indian assets in the sea (oil rigs, future man-made islands, etc.), or even potentially be used to locate regions in the sea by the maritime sector. The maritime EEZ is computed assuming 200 nautical miles extent from the coastline.

The level-10 cells would be almost rectangular, but the dimensions would vary based on the latitude. This would translate to a cell of size smaller than 3.8m x 4m if measured at the equator, and this is reasonable given the accuracy of most current commercially available Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS).

The length of the DIGIPIN is designed to be as small as possible in order to provide an efficient digital representation of addresses.

DIGIPIN is independent of the land use pattern and the structure built. Note that DIGIPIN is designed as a permanent digital infrastructure, that does not change with changes in the names of state, city or locality, or with changes in the road network in an area. The DIGIPIN is designed to be robust to accommodate future developments and changes. The arrival of a new building in a community, or even a new village or city in a district, or changes in the name of a road or locality will not affect the underlying DIGIPIN.
