Post-2023 pincode shapefile/geojson for India

[Ritwiz Sarma]

Hello everyone,

I’m looking for a recent (post-2023) geospatial dataset of India’s postal PIN code boundaries. 

Last year, Department of Posts had released a PIN code–level GeoJSON dataset on the Open Government Data platform, and there was quite a bit of discussion around it at the time across Twitter, LinkedIn, and the broader open-data/GIS community. 

I believe the original resource was hosted on two government-adjacent websites, Data.gov and AIKosh. It now returns 404. 

I’m checking whether anyone in the community may have archived or previously downloaded the dataset, or is aware of an alternative authoritative source for PIN code polygon boundaries in India. The most recent resource I know of is ESRI India's 2022 pincode boundaries, which has some invalid polygons and is anyway not openly available.

Please respond/email me if you have any leads on this. Thank you very much.

Best,

Ritwiz

Hi Ritwiz,

A simplified version is here: https://bharatviz.org/India_pincodes_simplified.geojson. Original if I recall correctly was 300Mb+

Associated app: https://bharatviz.org/pincodes?darkMode=true&colorScale=spectral&selectedState=All+India 

Hope it helps!
