Digital-twin architecture can increase production output

26 Aug 2024 CW Team

A leading think tank in the field of space, geospatial and digital-twin technologies, GeoSpatial World has unveiled a pivotal study revealing the urgent need for a National Digital Twin Policy that would not only augment ongoing deep-tech strategies like space, geospatial technology, AI and the Deep Sea Mission, but would also amplify their collective impact towards productivity gains and through sustainable and resilient Indian infrastructure. This comprehensive policy framework is set to be a gamechanger, aligning with India’s ambitious Vision 2047 goals and addressing both current and future challenges. As the nation sets its sights on becoming a $40 trillion economy by 2047, the role of advanced technologies in managing projects has never been more critical. As Sanjay Kumar, CEO, Geospatial World, shares, in the face of monumental infrastructure demands, a National Digital Twin Policy is not just a vision but a necessity and will position India at the forefront of global infrastructure innovation. Excerpts:

Please share the key findings of your study.
As part of Geospatial World’s policy advocacy initiative, we released the ‘Digital Twin Strategy for Indian Infrastructure’, which proposes a National Digital Twin Policy for the country. The implementation of such a policy is critical to modernise and strengthen the country’s infrastructure sector.
