Comprehensive Mapping and Survey Initiatives
During a press conference held at the GHMC headquarters on Thursday, Commissioner Amrapali highlighted the ongoing efforts to transform Hyderabad into a model city for the country. As part of this initiative, an integrated GIS survey is being conducted to map all assets and utilities under the GHMC, using cutting-edge technology. The entire GHMC area is being surveyed and recorded via drones with GIS, capturing details of government lands, roads, ponds, lakes, and the city’s infrastructure.
The GIS survey is set to cover approximately 650 square kilometers of Hyderabad, including around 19.43 lakh structures, comprising both residential and commercial buildings. Of these, 2.7 lakh houses are identified as commercial properties. Once the survey is completed, each property will be assigned a digital door number.

Digital Access to Services for Residents
A digital board will be installed in front of every house, enabling residents to access government services directly from their homes. Services such as birth and death certificates, property mutation, and others will be accessible remotely. In the event of emergencies, officials will be able to respond swiftly and provide necessary assistance.
Progress and Coverage of the GIS Survey
GIS surveys have already commenced in Hyder Nagar, Miyapur, Chandanagar, KPHB Colony, Uppal, and Hayat Nagar, covering five circles within GHMC. Drone surveys have been completed in 130 square kilometers, with 1,40,020 plots set to be digitized soon. Each property will receive a unique digital address identification number.
Public Cooperation and Reassurance
Commissioner Amrapali urged residents not to fall prey to misconceptions and to cooperate with the ongoing survey. She reassured that the survey would not lead to an increase in property taxes, as it is solely focused on mapping assets and infrastructure. The physical survey teams will collect information related to properties, utilities, and infrastructure, supported by necessary documentation.
