Mumbai, India – Genesys International Corporation Limited today announced that it has secured, a landmark project from the National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG), Ministry of Jal Shakti, Government of India, for the Aerial LiDAR Survey and Geotagged Videography of the Drainage System of River Ganga. The project spans four states, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, and West Bengal, and will use a combination of manned aerial platforms and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)/drones to capture high-resolution geospatial datasets for the river corridor and associated drainage systems. The uniqueness of this project is the speed in which the Genesys constellation of sensors work.
The assignment includes aerial LiDAR survey, photogrammetry, orthorectified imagery, and geotagged videography of natural and manmade drainage systems merging into the river. The project will generate a high-accuracy, decision-ready geospatial dataset to support river-corridor assessment, drainage identification, terrain understanding, and downstream planning, monitoring, and intervention. Key outputs include 3D LiDAR point cloud, orthorectified imagery, annotated aerial video, and geotagged drainage information, creating a robust digital foundation for technical review and river management.
Mr. Sajid Malik, Chairman and Managing Director, Genesys International, said: “We are proud to have secured this important assignment in support of the mission of Clean Ganga. This project highlights how manned aerial survey systems and unmanned aerial vehicles can together create river intelligence at scale. We believe this is an important emerging geospatial vertical, with the potential to support environmental restoration, wastewater planning, floodplain management, and multiple development use cases across India’s river systems.”
The engagement also reflects the growing promise of river intelligence as a strategic geospatial vertical. By combining LiDAR, aerial imagery, and drone videography of drains and outfalls, the resulting dataset can support multiple use cases, including drain and confluence mapping, pollution hotspot identification, wastewater interception planning, floodplain and terrain analysis, river-edge infrastructure planning, environmental compliance monitoring, and digital decision-support systems for basin management.
