Hi folks,
The recently opened Gati Shakti portal
<https://ugi.pmgatishakti.gov.in/home/> has extremely valuable
infrastructure-related information, with over 200 geospatial data layers
integrated from more than 40 central ministries and state governments.
These datasets can be broadly categorised into -
-
Demographic information: Shapefiles of administrative boundaries
including subdistrict and village boundaries along with district and Taluka
headquarters. Settlement, watershed, river, water body, all these layers
are also included.
-
Physical Infrastructure: Detailed networks of Railways (tracks,
stations, freight corridors), Roads (National Highways, expressways,
toll plazas), Power (transmission lines, substations), Telecom (OFC
networks, towers), and Shipping (ports, inland waterways).
-
Social & Economic Assets: Locations of Schools, Hospitals, and Anganwadis
to identify service gaps, alongside economic zones like Industrial
Parks, SEZs, and Textile Clusters.
-
Land & Environment: Critical regulatory layers including Forest
Approvals, Wildlife Sanctuaries, Eco-Sensitive Zones, and Mining Leases
to help check for land availability and potential clearance issues.
This information is quite interesting, but it looks like the platform is
designed for visualisation and query-based analysis, allowing us to view
layers on the map and see attribute details. However, we are unable to
download any of the geospatial data in a machine readable format.
We wanted to know -
1.
Has anyone accessed and used the Gati Shakti portal?
1.
How did they download the raw machine-readable geospatial data from
the portal?
2.
Is there an open source repository for any of the data on Gati Shakti?
Any pointers, links, or documentation would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Supriya
