Ever since India embarked on economic reforms in early 1990s, infrastructure  development has remained top priority for successive governments. With the economy clocking a growth rate of over 8%, it is estimated that a staggering US $ 320 billion would be required by all the infrastructure sectors put together over the next five years. And today, it is no exaggeration to say that infrastructure - be it roads, urban development, power, telecom, transport, utilities planning and management - technology, more specifically, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), holds the key. 
Spatial India 2007, is the one event that will arm you with the knowledge and product solutions to address the most pressing infrastructure challenges.

Why GIS for infrastructure?

The enormous growth of the country calls for a GIS integrated solution for its infrastructure management. The distinction between Engineering and GIS tasks has begun to fade out significantly. Processes involving calculations, drafting and research that used to be isolated are coming together within the powerful set of graphics, 3 D design, spatial databases and information management tools found in GIS. GIS is emerging as a more integrated alternative for engineering design and modelling.
