Municipal Corporation Of Gurugram Completes Digital Road Mapping

The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) has completed a district-wide digital mapping of 17,600 roads, creating a comprehensive inventory to support infrastructure management. The project recorded road locations and basic attributes in a standardised geographic information system to enable centralised planning and monitoring. MCG officials described the exercise as a foundational step for targeted maintenance and urban planning. The mapping covers arterial, subarterial and local streets across the Gurugram district.

The database links each road to locational coordinates and condition indicators, allowing prioritisation of repairs and resurfacing programmes. It is expected to streamline work orders and reduce response times for complaints about road defects. Planners can use the data to model traffic flows and identify critical links for capacity upgrades. The mapping also identifies areas prone to waterlogging to inform drainage interventions.

Field teams catalogued visible street features and potential encroachments while integrating data from existing utility records to reduce duplication. The standardised format permits cross-referencing with property records and municipal asset registers for more efficient capital budgeting. Technology vendors provided training to MCG staff to ensure the dataset can be maintained and updated periodically. The approach is intended to support evidence based decision making across departments.

The mapping is expected to enable more transparent project prioritisation and better tracking of expenditure against road works. Officials plan to use the inventory to monitor contractor performance and verify completion of scheduled tasks. By reducing information gaps, the initiative aims to cut delays and improve accountability in routine maintenance. Urban resilience measures can be targeted more precisely using the spatial dataset.

MCG will need to establish protocols for data governance and periodic surveys to keep the inventory current. Integration with city planning tools and public service portals is likely to enhance citizen engagement and expedite approvals for road projects. Continued investment in training and technical support will determine the long term benefits of the digital inventory. Observers said sustained use of the dataset could transform routine road maintenance in the Gurugram district.
