Infotech Enterprises Ltd has announced the inauguration of a dedicated facility in Survey of India, Uppal Hyderabad Campus by Major General Gopal Rao, Surveyor General of India.

The Company will be executing the contracts awarded by Survey of India for mapping the cities of Ahmedabad and Chennai in this facility. The Company will be employing softcopy photogrammetry technology to extract features in 3D. A team from the Company will operate from this secure facility and complete the project in 4 months time. Around 500 sq. km of thickly populated urban areas will be covered at 1:1000 scale in these two cities.

The features to be captured include buildings, transport network, utility networks, communication structures, water bodies, vegetation, and contours. The output will be delivered in DGN format along with the attribute data collected from Field Survey. The data will be useful for application in urban planning and management, taxation, emergency preparedness and response, security, health and civic amenities.

Speaking on this occasion, BVR Mohan Reddy, Chairman and Managing Director of the Company said, "We have always believed that there is enormous potential in domestic GIS space and Infotech as a global leader in GIS is happy to be executing the contracts for Survey of India. Infotech's expertise in creating world class maps for customers in North America and Europe will be a natural advantage. This is the first step towards creating large scale mapping and C applications in India."
