Digital Twin Strategy for Indian Infrastructure

Prepared under the aegis of Non-Executive Think Tank on Digital Twin Strategy for Indian Infrastructure

Intro

Overview

India stands at a pivotal moment in its infrastructure journey. With investments of over USD 1.8 trillion under the National Infrastructure Pipeline, national programmes like PM Gati Shakti, and the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047, the country is laying the foundation for a USD 40 trillion economy by its centenary year.

The Digital Twin Strategy for Indian Infrastructure report charts the path to achieving this vision by leveraging geospatial technologies, BIM, and Digital Twin ecosystems to build sustainable, resilient, and intelligent infrastructure.

This landmark report is the result of the concerted efforts of the Non-Executive Think Tank on Digital Twin Strategy for Indian Infrastructure, developed in association with our Principal Partners—Autodesk, Bentley Systems, and Esri India—and Knowledge Partners Build India Foundation, ITS India, and Techknowmics.

Why It Matters

India’s infrastructure challenges—cost overruns, fragmented planning, and climate risks—require a paradigm shift. Digital Twins provide that shift by offering:

  • Precision over Guesswork – Real-time, data-rich models reduce planning errors and improve execution.
  • Synergy over Silos – A common language across ministries and agencies, supporting coordination at scale.
  • Prevention over Fixes – Predictive analytics and AI-enabled monitoring reduce downtime and service disruptions.

The report demonstrates that Digital Twins are not just a technology—they are a governance revolution, transforming how infrastructure is planned, delivered, and sustained. With strong policy tailwinds, data readiness, technology enablers, and capital momentum, India is uniquely positioned to scale Digital Twins and unlock their potential for Viksit Bharat 2047.
