After liberalising the use of geospatial data under the draft geospatial data policy in February last year, the Ministry of Science and Technology notified the National Geospatial Policy, 2022.

• The 13-year guideline aims to promote the country's geospatial data industry and develop a national framework to use such data for improving citizen services, and more.
• Besides developing geospatial infrastructures, skill and knowledge, standards, businesses, among others, the policy aims to develop high resolution topographical survey and mapping, and a high-accuracy digital elevation model for the entire country by 2030.
