Matrix Geo Solutions Limited has received a Letter of Acceptance (LoA) from Madhya Pradesh State Electronics Development Corporation Limited (MPSEDC) for undertaking the Narmada Parikrama Survey using aerial and geospatial technologies.
The order, valued at ₹5.14 crore, will be executed over a period of six months and involves survey work across the Narmada river corridor for state government projects.
Under the mandate, the company will deploy drones, aircraft, and helicopters along with LiDAR systems to carry out aerial data acquisition across approximately 2,400 square kilometres. The data will be used for high-resolution mapping, terrain modelling, and hydrological analysis, supporting the preparation of Detailed Project Reports and long-term infrastructure planning.
The project will also involve creating a digital twin of the Narmada corridor, enabling monitoring, planning, and data-driven decision-making. The platform is expected to support the identification of encroachments, ecological sensitivities, and infrastructure gaps, along with the planning of pilgrimage routes and related facilities.
The Narmada River, which originates at Amarkantak and flows through Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Gujarat before reaching the Arabian Sea, spans diverse terrain, including forest regions, gorges, and plains, making large-scale data acquisition complex.
The initiative is part of the state government’s efforts to improve infrastructure linked to the Narmada Parikrama, support tourism, and maintain ecological balance in the region.
Speaking on the project win, Amit Sharma, Whole Time Director, Matrix Geo Solutions Limited, said, “This project is a unique convergence of spirituality, sustainability, and technology. We are honored to partner with MPSEDC in creating a future-ready digital ecosystem for the Narmada Parikrama. Our goal is to build a highly accurate, scalable, and intelligent geospatial foundation that supports both pilgrimage and policy.”
The project will use drone-led geospatial technologies along with GIS, remote sensing, and data analytics to build a unified data layer for multiple departments, including forest and environment, water resources, tourism, and urban and rural development.
It is also expected to support route planning, improve accessibility for pilgrims, promote eco tourism, and generate local employment, while adding to the company’s portfolio of large-scale geospatial projects.
