Post Office Locations

[Devdatta Tengshe]

Hi all,

I saw that Bhuvan has a portal for Post offices, and I decided to poke around a bit, and I found that the data could be Scraped.

I have scrapped the data from this portal for all the pincodes, which in turn are available on the data.gov.in website.

While this data does not cover the entire country (Quite a few gaps are visible), It's a good start, and gives locations for post-offices in quite a large fraction of the country.

This data also contains the attributes for pincodes, so it will also serve the need for an half decent pincode location dataset.

This data is available at the following Google drive location:

HI,

This is how the coverage looks
There seem to be missing locations in Chhattisgarh and some portions of MP

Hi,

Is the post office data available at openstreetmaps?

If not, is it okey to import these to OSM?

Hi Devdatta,

This data is very interesting, great effort. Now I see on Bhuvan (https://bhuvan.nrsc.gov.in/governance/mcit_post#) gaps are filled. Like I checked Chhattisgarh data is available.
So request you to run your script once again to crawl it. The complete dataset for pincode can be used by many persons.

Hi Gagan,

I tried running my script for this new data, and the query is taking too long, even in the UI. I'll have a look at it later in week.

Devdatta

Here is an early New year's gift.

I have rescraped the data from the Bhuvan site, and now there are a lot more post offices available.
