Matrix Geo Wins MP Govt Contract for Narmada Parikrama Survey, to Deploy Drone Mapping and Digital Twin Technologies
INR 5.14 crore mandate to be executed over 6 months across approximately 2,400 sq. km. river corridor
Deployment of drones, aircraft, helicopters and LiDAR for high precision mapping and data capture
Project to support Digital Twin creation, DPR development and planning for pilgrimage infrastructure
New Delhi, April 14th, 2026: Matrix Geo Solutions Limited, a geospatial technology and engineering consultancy, has received a Letter of Acceptance from the Madhya Pradesh State Electronics Development Corporation Limited (MPSEDC), the nodal technology agency of the Government of Madhya Pradesh.
The mandate is for conducting the Narmada Parikrama Survey using drones, aircraft and helicopters for state government projects. The order is valued at INR 5,14,16,000 and is to be executed over a period of 6 months.
The Narmada is one of India’s major river systems, originating at Amarkantak in Madhya Pradesh and flowing approximately 1,312 kilometres through Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Gujarat before meeting the Arabian Sea. The river corridor includes steep gorges, dense forest cover and expansive alluvial plains, making large-scale data acquisition complex.
Under this mandate, Matrix Geo will deploy drones, aircraft, helicopters and advanced LiDAR systems to conduct aerial data acquisition across approximately 2,400 sq. km. of the Narmada river corridor. These technologies will support high-resolution mapping, terrain modelling and hydrological analysis, forming the base for Detailed Project Report preparation and long-term infrastructure planning.
The project will also support the creation of a comprehensive Digital Twin of the Narmada corridor. This digital layer will enable monitoring, planning and data-based decision-making. It will also support the identification of encroachments, ecological sensitivities and infrastructure gaps, while enabling planning of Parikrama routes and related facilities.
The Narmada Parikrama holds cultural and spiritual importance and attracts thousands of devotees annually. Through this initiative, the Government of Madhya Pradesh aims to improve pilgrimage infrastructure, support tourism and maintain the ecological and cultural balance of the river corridor.
Speaking on the project win, Amit Sharma, Whole Time Director, Matrix Geo Solutions Limited, said, “This project is a unique convergence of spirituality, sustainability, and technology. We are honored to partner with MPSEDC in creating a future-ready digital ecosystem for the Narmada Parikrama. Our goal is to build a highly accurate, scalable, and intelligent geospatial foundation that supports both pilgrimage and policy.”
The project uses drone-led geospatial technologies along with GIS, remote sensing and data analytics to create a unified data layer for departments including forest and environment, water resources, tourism, urban and rural development and disaster management.
The initiative is expected to support improved route planning, better accessibility for pilgrims, promotion of eco-tourism, and generation of local employment. It also adds to Matrix Geo’s experience in executing large-scale geospatial projects across infrastructure, environmental and cultural landscapes.
