What GeoIndia tells you
Can I use it?
Access, licence signals, formats and downloadability.
Can I trust it?
Source provenance, verification and link health.
Is it current?
Publication, update and freshness evidence where available.
What are the alternatives?
Government, community, global-open and Earth-observation sources.
What's missing?
Coverage and usability gaps based on catalogued evidence.
Catalogue assistant
Synthesized result
This public catalogue assistant synthesizes indexed GeoIndia metadata. It does not execute a live Studio mission.
Datasets by state / UT
Shaded by single-state records in view — click a state to filter. State filtering includes state-specific, national and applicable global sources.

Boundaries: Natural Earth (public domain). Counts reflect datasets whose coverage is attributable to a single state/UT.

Colour scale & caveats
National, multi-state and global records are not attributed to a single state, so they are not shaded here. They still count in KPIs and assessment. Select a state to see what is catalogued for it, and use the gap analysis below to inspect evidence gaps.

GeoIndia portal assessment
Comparative usability score based on catalogued evidence, not an official rating. Click to drill in.
How scores are computed
Each portal is scored 0–100 from its catalogued records: open & free access (20), download capability (25), GIS-ready formats (15), API & OGC services (15), data recency (15) and link reliability (10). See methodology.
Public-data observatory
Data availability gap analysis
Pick a theme and a state to ask: does an authoritative source exist, is it openly accessible, is it downloadable or API-ready, are alternatives catalogued, and what is the next option?
Authoritative vs alternatives
Compare authoritative and alternative sources
Compare what government publishes with community, global-open and Earth-observation alternatives, then understand whether Studio-assisted generation may be appropriate.
From discovery to delivery
The Civic Index stays open. Nebula Cloud's commercial services begin where discovery ends.
Analyse with Studio
Available via NebulaTake relevant datasets into Studio-assisted GIS, data and AI workflows for transformation, geospatial analysis, comparison, mapping, reporting and execution.
Explore NebulaCloud Studio ↗Data readiness & managed intelligence
Available via NebulaSource relevant data, assess availability, verify access, normalize CRS/schema/formats, package analysis-ready datasets and identify project or tender data risks.
Learn about managed intelligence ↗Generate what's missing
Available via NebulaWhere suitable public data is unavailable, Studio workflows can support derivation of selected assets such as building footprints, land-use / land-cover, change detection and terrain products, subject to source availability and project requirements.
Generate with Studio ↗Private Data Observatory
Available via NebulaUse the same pattern for internal and public datasets, metadata cataloguing, provenance, quality signals and organisation-specific data intelligence in private deployments.

GeoIndia is live as an open discovery and intelligence layer. We welcome collaboration with think tanks, policy organisations, market-research and advisory firms, geospatial analytics and Earth-observation companies, universities, researchers, NGOs, development organisations, civic-tech and open-data communities, industry bodies and public-sector institutions.
Nebula Civic Index
Civic Index across jurisdictions
Nebula Civic Index is an open public-data intelligence initiative by Nebula Cloud Public Good Labs. It helps make fragmented public datasets easier to discover, verify, compare and act on across jurisdictions. GeoIndia is the first live regional edition.
Public data is abundant but fragmented across agencies, portals and jurisdictions. Civic Index is designed to provide a reusable intelligence layer for discovering what exists, understanding whether it is usable, comparing sources and identifying what is missing. Build locally. Standardize globally.
India — GeoIndia
India's public geospatial data ecosystem.
Europe edition
Expected to begin with EU-level infrastructure and selected national ecosystems.
United States edition
Expected to begin with federal sources before expanding into state and local public-data ecosystems.
Help build the next Civic Index
We welcome collaboration with researchers, universities, open-data communities, geospatial organisations, civic-tech groups and public institutions interested in helping develop the Europe and United States editions.
Collaboration areas include source discovery, catalogue validation, jurisdiction expertise, metadata harmonisation, geospatial standards, research, open-data policy, benchmark use cases and technology integration.
How it works
Assembled with Studio, reviewed by people
The catalogue is assembled from primary sources — government portals, open-data platforms, community data and international repositories — using a Studio-assisted discovery, classification and verification workflow, with human review for uncertain records. Autonomous scheduled maintenance is part of the platform roadmap.
01This is a discovery layer, not a data host. Underlying datasets are not re-hosted; every record links to the source, and the source's terms govern.
02Licence and access classifications are informational. Confirm source terms before production or commercial use.
03Provenance first. Every assertion carries its source, evidence and verification timestamp.
04The catalogue is open data — downloadable as JSON/CSV under an open licence.
What's next
Launch now; keep larger platform capabilities on the roadmap.
Direct Studio handoff
Send a selected dataset or filtered catalogue view into a live Studio workspace.
Source monitoring
Scheduled checks for portal, endpoint and dataset-change signals.
APIs and authenticated execution
Programmatic catalogue access and authenticated workflows for partner deployments.
