RAIPUR: The Chhattisgarh government has signed two Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) to integrate geospatial technology and real-time logistics analytics into governance under the PM GatiShakti initiative.
The agreements with the Bhaskaracharya National Institute for Space Applications and Geo-informatics (BISAG-N) and National Logistics Data Services Ltd. (NLDSL) were signed during the regional PM GatiShakti and LEADS 2025 Dissemination Workshop in Raipur. The workshop was jointly organised by the state's Department of Commerce and Industries and the Centre's Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT).
Senior officials from Bihar, Odisha, Maharashtra, Goa, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Jharkhand attended the workshop.
Chhattisgarh has integrated more than 35 departments into the PM GatiShakti platform, mapping 41 mandatory and over 600 additional data layers. The state has also developed 45 use cases and 30 analytical tools under the platform.
“PM GatiShakti is strengthening data-driven decision-making in Chhattisgarh, enabling us to plan infrastructure more effectively, identify connectivity and logistics gaps, and support better-aligned industrial development. This is helping create stronger conditions for investment and sustainable economic growth,” Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai said.
The state is using GIS-based technology to identify road accident black spots, villages without adequate banking services and routes for bus services under MMGBY.
Officials said more than 80 projects have been supported under the Annual Action Plan. The state has also installed 600 mobile towers in tourism areas and finalised 700 acres in Nava Raipur under the Bhavya Scheme.
Chhattisgarh was recognised as a high-performing landlocked state in DPIIT's LEADS 2025 assessment for implementing PM GatiShakti.
The state has also developed the Chhattisgarh GEO Portal through CHiPS. The portal includes a Department GIS Scorecard, predictive analysis of infrastructure gaps, a GIS-enabled NOC system and AI-based planning tools.
Officials said the initiative aims to link digital intelligence with the state's industrial economy, including integrated logistics and cargo aggregation hubs in the Raipur-Bhilai-Durg industrial belt.
