The Department of Posts, Ministry of Communications, has introduced the Digital Postal Index Number (DIGIPIN) system to address limitations of traditional postal addresses. DIGIPIN divides India into a precise grid of about 4×4 square meters, providing geo-referenced digital addresses nationwide. This initiative supports India's national geospatial data policies to democratize location data and improve address accuracy, especially in rural and rapidly urbanizing areas.
