Genesys has taken a major step toward safer and smarter mobility by developing India’s first large-scale High-Definition (HD) navigation maps engineered specifically for ADAS-enabled vehicles. Created as part of the company’s New India Map stack, the initiative covers more than 1 lakh kilometres of national highways, expressways and strategic corridors, setting a new benchmark for automotive-grade mapping precision in the country.
The HD mapping programme addresses one of India’s most pressing road-safety challenges. While highways account for a high share of road fatalities due to fast traffic, inconsistent lane discipline and limited driver awareness, HD maps add critical centimetre-level context that traditional navigation maps cannot provide. By capturing detailed lane geometry, curves, slopes, road furniture, signage and localisation cues, the maps enable ADAS systems to anticipate hazards rather than merely react to them—marking a significant leap beyond sensor-only ADAS capabilities.
To achieve the accuracy required for ADAS Level 2 functionality, Genesys has leveraged the Survey of India’s Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) network, one of the country’s most vital geospatial infrastructures. Real-time GNSS correction signals from the CORS network allow survey teams to capture lane- and asset-level details with centimetre-grade precision, in line with global automotive standards. The effort builds on the existing MoU between Genesys and Survey of India, supporting collaboration on digital twins, national mapping and high-accuracy geospatial missions.
The HD datasets include ADAS-critical features such as lane markings, barriers, medians, elevation and curvature profiles, road signage and localisation objects like poles and gantries. Owned by Genesys, these datasets can be licensed across multiple industries, opening up applications in fleet navigation, logistics optimisation, mobility platforms, safety analytics and automotive R&D.
Commenting on the initiative, Mr. Hitesh Makwana, Surveyor General of India, said the use of the national CORS network for HD mapping highlights the growing importance of geospatial infrastructure in building a Viksit Bharat. He noted that high-accuracy datasets are essential for modern mobility, national planning and digital governance.
Mr. Sajid Malik, Chairman & Managing Director, Genesys International Corporation, said the project lays the foundation for India’s ADAS future. “By applying HD mapping at national scale and integrating it with the CORS network, we are creating the precise geospatial datasets needed for safer, intelligent mobility in the Indian context,” he said.
Aligned with the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat, the programme strengthens India’s indigenous geospatial capabilities and positions Genesys as a key partner in building a future-ready, intelligent mobility ecosystem for the country.
