The Department of Posts, under the Ministry of Communications, has collaborated with MapmyIndia to implement DIGIPIN, India’s new digital addressing system. DIGIPIN, short for Digital PIN, assigns unique geocodes to every address, enabling precise geolocation, seamless navigation, and efficient service delivery. MapmyIndia, as India’s leading geospatial technology provider, will supply base maps, integrate real-time address generation, and embed DIGIPIN navigation tools into its Mappls platform. This initiative is expected to transform logistics, e-governance, and digital service ecosystems by offering citizens accurate addresses, businesses optimised supply chains, and governments improved planning and public service delivery.
