All infra projects in state to now have geo tagged 13-digit unique ID
Each of the infrastructure development projects in Maharashtra will now have a geo-tagged 13-digit alphanumeric unique ID which will now be used as a primary reference number once the administrative approval is granted to the project. The infra ID portal for the same has been activated from Monday.
In the first stage of the project, all infra projects in Vidarbha's Wardha district from the Public Works Department, Rural Development Department, Urban Development Department, Water Conservation Department, Water Supply and Sanitation and Irrigation Department will be given the unique ID. The government has ordered to start giving unique IDs for the rest of the districts and departments from October 1, 2025. The Maharashtra cabinet had cleared the same in January 2025.
Under this, each project will have a unique digital identity and is aimed at enhancing inter-departmental and inter-organisational coordination. The Maharashtra Remote Sensing Application Centre (MRSAC) platform will be used for monitoring and management purposes. Each infrastructure facility will be geo-tagged which can also prevent duplication of projects. The information of all projects will be available on the Infra ID portal to bring transparency.
The 13-digit alphanumeric unique ID will have one letter state code, two digit sanction year code, four letter code for scheme/program, three letter district code, two letter asset type abbreviation and sequential serial number.
The government has also decided to complete registration of all infra projects in the last five years by March 2026. The decision of cancellation of the unique ID will be taken by the committee of district collector.

All Public Infra Projects In Maha Will Be Geotagged With Unique ID
1 2 Nagpur: The Maharashtra govt will assign a unique identification number to every public infrastructure facility to optimize costs and prevent duplication of infrastructure projects. Wardha district has been chosen to pilot this initiative for select departments, with a statewide rollout scheduled to begin on October 1. According to the state planning department's latest Government Resolution (GR), the Unique Infrastructure Facility ID (UIFID) portal aims to streamline project management, enhance transparency, and eliminate resource wastage. Each infrastructure development project will be assigned a geo-tagged, 13-digit alphanumeric Unique ID at the time of administrative approval. This ID will incorporate the state code, year of sanction, scheme abbreviation, district code, asset type, and serial number. The government has mandated that no bill payments will be processed unless the unique ID is mentioned on the invoice. The Maharashtra Remote Sensing Application Centre (MRSAC) has been designated the nodal agency for developing and operating the portal. All public infrastructure assets — including electricity substations, hospitals, irrigation projects, and public toilets — will be geo-tagged and digitally mapped as points, lines, or polygons. MRSAC's advanced platform will monitor these projects across various development stages. The system is designed to prevent duplication by cross-verifying new project registrations with existing infrastructure based on geographical location and facility type. Government officials and policymakers will receive automated alerts if similar facilities already exist nearby, allowing departments to reassess the need for new proposals. This mechanism is expected to curb the significant financial losses previously caused by redundant projects across departments. The UIFID portal will provide comprehensive project data and support improved decision-making, equitable resource distribution, and enhanced governmental accountability. Departments will be able to generate real-time, customized reports for better planning & execution. The system is also set to improve inter-departmental coordination and align with central government initiatives such as PM Gati Shakti and Gram Manchitra. The government believes the platform will promote balanced fund allocation and equitable development, as the portal's dashboard will highlight both the presence and absence of infrastructure projects across districts. Initially, the portal will cover rural development, urban development, public works, water conservation, water supply & sanitation, & water resources departments. Additionally, the government has set a deadline of March 31, 2026, to upload entries of all infrastructure facilities created or completed between 2020 and 2025. A district-level committee headed by the district collector will verify all entries and conduct monthly reviews to ensure timely and accurate data entry.

Himachal: Vikramaditya Singh meets Rajnath Singh, urges to declare Ghatasni-Shilha-Badhani-Bhubujot- Kullu road as national highway
Shimla (Himachal Pradesh) [India], June 10 (ANI): The Public Works Department (PWD) Minister of Himachal Pradesh, Vikramaditya Singh, called on Defence Minister Rajnath Singh in New Delhi. He urged the declaration of the Ghatasni-Shilha-Badhani-Bhubujot-Kullu road as a National Highway, keeping in view its strategic significance. He said that there was an urgent need for an alternative connectivity to the Pathankot-Manali-Leh NH, and this road would not only serve the purpose but also shorten the distance by about 55 kilometres. 'It would also provide a stable highway besides boosting tourism and strengthening the rural economy,' he added. He urged Defence Minister Rajnath Singh to sanction the project. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh assured to provide all possible support to the state. Earlier, on May 19, the Public Works Department (PWD) Minister of the Himachal Pradesh government said that the department was all set to start the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) stage four once it was approved by the Union government. Vikramaditya Singh detailed Himachal Pradesh's progress under the PMGSY, highlighting key milestones achieved in road infrastructure in rural and remote areas of the state.'Our government made sustained efforts to strengthen the road network across Himachal, especially in remote and backwards regions where all-weather connectivity was crucial,' Singh said. He reported that under PMGSY-III, 3,100 kilometres of roads and 43 bridges had already been sanctioned, with projects spread across Mandi, Kangra, and Hamirpur districts.'We executed PMGSY-III projects worth Rs 345 crore. Our goal was to complete these within 18 months. Already Rs 802 crore had been spent, and by the end of 2024-25, Rs 650 crore more was expected to be utilised out of the Rs 905 crore budget,' he said. Singh further shared that meetings with the Minister of State for Rural Development had yielded positive responses. (ANI)
