GIS Enabled Land Bank gaining popularity
Date:10 JUL 2021
The India Industrial Land Bank (IILB) is a GIS-based portal – a one-stop repository of all industrial infrastructure-related information – connectivity, infra, natural resources & terrain, plot-level information on vacant plots, line of activity, and contact details. Currently, the IILB has approximately 4000 industrial parks mapped across an area of 5.5 lakh hectare of land, serving as a decision support system for investors scouting for land remotely. The system has been integrated with industry-based GIS systems of 17 states to have details on the portal updated on a real-time basis and will achieve pan-India integration by December 2021
A mobile application (wherein login is not required) was launched on Android and iOS stores. Additional features are to be introduced soon. In parallel, the portal has been made more user friendly by allowing users to explore the portal without any login. The design and UI of the portal are being constantly improved for a better user experience
