The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has signed MoUs with four agencies to pilot advanced technologies, including drone aerial surveys, LiDAR mapping, Digital Twin technology, and GIS-based asset mapping, to enhance property tax assessment and urban governance. These pilot projects, conducted at no cost to the MCD, aim to identify unassessed and under-assessed properties, improve tax compliance, and support urban planning. The initiative will help evaluate technologies before potential city-wide implementation.
