Seeking help on accessing the Gati Shakti platform data
Supriya Joshi
Hi folks,
The recently opened Gati Shakti portal 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 -
Has anyone accessed and used the Gati Shakti portal?
How did they download the raw machine-readable geospatial data from the portal?
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
