Posted by Mumbai: The location platform HERE Technologies has announced the integration of India Post’s DIGIPIN into its suite of location services, supporting India’s efforts to modernise and simplify location referencing through digital public infrastructure.
A global leader in location data and technology, HERE is enabling its customers and partners to incorporate DIGIPIN capabilities across its platform. The move aligns with the company’s commitment to support India’s geospatial innovation goals by improving how users reference, locate, and interact with physical addresses using digital identifiers.
By incorporating DIGIPIN as a map reference, HERE enhances the discoverability and accessibility of locations, particularly in areas where traditional addressing remains inconsistent. This integration will help users view and associate DIGIPINs with precise locations, improving navigation accuracy and enabling smarter, more efficient travel and logistics.
The addition of DIGIPIN support complements HERE’s existing capabilities, which span multiple use cases including improved location discoverability using digital address references, increased accessibility in under-mapped or informal areas, safer travel through accurate turn-by-turn navigation and smarter routing to reduce delays and fuel consumption.
Abhijit Sengupta, Head of Business for India and Southeast Asia at HERE Technologies, emphasised the importance of addressing in digital infrastructure. “Addressing is foundational to everything from navigation to public service delivery,” said Sengupta.
“By supporting India’s efforts to modernise and simplify addressing through initiatives like DIGIPIN, HERE reinforces its commitment to delivering accurate, inclusive, and innovative location solutions that serve the needs of businesses, governments, and citizens,” added Sengupta
The DIGIPIN integration reflects HERE’s ongoing support for India’s Digital Public Infrastructure and its mission to bridge gaps in accessibility, efficiency, and service delivery. As digital adoption grows across sectors, this move is expected to play a vital role in helping organisations and individuals locate and navigate more effectively across the country.
