Mappls App Now Available in 9 Regional Languages

Marking its 30-year milestone, Mappls MapmyIndia, India’s leading digital maps, IoT, and deep-tech company, has launched another groundbreaking initiative with Indic language maps and navigation support for 9 regional languages on its flagship Mappls App, accessible to all it’s 30mn+ app users and counting. The feature was launched by Surveyor General of India, Shri Hitesh Kumar S. Makwana, IAS at an event held at India International Center, New Delhi. This initiative reinforces Mappls’ commitment to inclusivity, making map and navigation seamless and accessible to all Indians, in their native languages and the company expects to further increase its user base with a slew of such India-centric features.

Users can have a fully native language experience with maps, search, turn-by-turn navigation and voice guidance in 9 Indian languages—Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi, Kannada, Punjabi, Malayalam, and Gujarati - across the entire country. All 9 languages are available for the entire country and not just for the state/region, meaning a user in one state can read the map in their native language, travel to another state and continue to interact with the map in their native language.

This feature is one amongst a series of India-first features that have contributed to the app gaining 30m+ users in a short period. Other popular features that users rely on include Junction Views (for better, safer guidance, particularly around flyovers in 3D mode), traffic monitoring alerts, speed breakers, trip cost estimates, Mappls Pin and many more.

Speaking at the launch, Shri Hitesh Kumar S. Makwana, IAS, Surveyor General of India stated “I commend MapmyIndia for taking up this great initiative which is a strong example of ease of use of geospatial for the common man for their everyday needs. This also serves as the national digital infrastructure for location-based technology.”

Further, Mr. Rakesh Verma, Co-Founder & CMD, MapmyIndia, added, “India’s rich linguistic diversity is a strength, and at MapmyIndia, we believe in empowering every Indian with technology that speaks their language. With a fully native Indic-language experience in our Swadeshi Mappls App, we are taking a giant leap toward making navigation more inclusive. This initiative aligns with our vision of ‘Atmanirbhar Sarvottam Bharat’ and ‘Make in India, for India, and for the World.’

“With over 700 million smartphones in India, accessing navigation in their native language is essential. The Mappls App will feel as familiar as a local newspaper, ensuring seamless understanding and accessibility.”

This launch also marks a first for iOS users in India, as Mappls App becomes the only navigation platform to offer maps, search & turn-by-turn guidance in 9 Indic languages—a feature unavailable on other map apps.

Key Features of the Initiative: Multi-Language Support: Easily switch between Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Tamil, Punjabi, English, Telugu, and Marathi for a personalized experience anywhere in the country.
