Homegrown digital mapping and technology firm MapmyIndia Mappls has signed key agreements with the Survey of India and Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOCL), marking a major step in strengthening its role in India’s geospatial and Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem. The partnerships will enable the company to power the Survey of India’s National Geo Platform and provide advanced vehicle tracking and management solutions for IOCL’s extensive logistics network.
The collaboration with the Survey of India, the nation’s premier topographic and mapping agency, will focus on standardising and managing foundational geospatial datasets across the country. Through this partnership, MapmyIndia Mappls will contribute to the National Geo Platform, a government-led initiative to centralise and digitise India’s geospatial data infrastructure. The company’s solutions will enable seamless access to accurate and authoritative data on administrative boundaries, digital elevation models, geodetic reference frames, and geographical names.
Officials from the company said that this integration will allow better interoperability and collaboration among government departments, academic institutions, and private enterprises. The data will be made accessible through modern digital interfaces including web services, application programming interfaces (APIs), and mobile platforms, promoting data-driven governance and innovation.
The agreement with Indian Oil Corporation Ltd represents another milestone for MapmyIndia Mappls in the field of IoT-enabled mobility and logistics. Under this partnership, the company will design and deploy a comprehensive, enterprise-level vehicle tracking and management system for IOCL’s fleet of LPG transport vehicles operating across India. The initiative aims to enhance operational efficiency, ensure safety, and improve overall logistical visibility.
The system, built on advanced IoT technology, will include features such as real-time vehicle tracking, geofencing, route optimisation, and journey risk management. It will also incorporate tools for emergency response and driver safety, offering IOCL a holistic digital command system to manage its fleet nationwide. The integration of these systems is expected to reduce operational costs, improve fuel efficiency, and provide greater transparency in logistics monitoring.
The partnerships with Survey of India and Indian Oil follow a series of strategic tie-ups for MapmyIndia Mappls within the public sector. The company has already established a partnership with the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) and is reportedly in advanced stages of finalising a deal with Indian Railways. These collaborations are part of the company’s broader push to expand its government business and position itself as a key digital infrastructure enabler for national-scale projects.
Rakesh Verma, Co-founder and Chairman & Managing Director of MapmyIndia Mappls, said the agreements reflect the company’s commitment to contributing technological solutions to organisations of national significance. He noted that the partnerships would strengthen India’s geospatial and logistics frameworks, building greater digital self-reliance and technological capability.
Founded in the 1990s, MapmyIndia Mappls has evolved into one of India’s leading providers of digital maps, location-based services, and IoT-powered analytics platforms. Its technologies are used across automotive, logistics, and government sectors for navigation, fleet management, and spatial intelligence. The company’s mapping data covers more than 7,500 cities and six million villages, forming the digital foundation for India’s rapidly expanding location intelligence ecosystem.
With the new agreements in place, MapmyIndia Mappls is expected to play a critical role in transforming how India’s core mapping and logistics systems operate. The partnerships highlight the growing importance of indigenous technology firms in delivering secure, scalable, and government-aligned digital infrastructure solutions that serve both national and industrial interests.
