This repository presents a summary of landcover (LC) classification for 132 Indian cities under NCAP. The raw data is available from European Space Agency (ESA)’s Climate Change Initiative (CCI) program, which delivers a new time series of 24 consistent classification maps at 300 m spatial resolution on an annual basis for 1992-2020. In the animations, 24 classes were clubbed into 5 categories for simplification. Global database can be viewed here https://maps.elie.ucl.ac.be/CCI/viewer/index.php and downloaded here https://maps.elie.ucl.ac.be/CCI/viewer/download.php.

For all the cities under NCAP, data is extracted for a box of 0.4 x 0.4 degrees (~40km x 40km) with the city's GIS centroid in the middle, to demonstrate the change in the major landcover classifications. This data acts as a proxy for (a) the rate of urbanization (b) the growing demand for construction material and (c) the growing demand for commercial and residential amenities.

In the repository, both animations and cut shapefiles are available for download.

Thanks a lot for this data, sir. It is very useful.

May I point out that the Chennai shapefiles seem missing? I would be really really thankful if you could update the portal with the files for Chennai.

Thanks again
