Genesys International bags NMCG contract for Ganga aerial survey across four states

The project covers the Ballia-to-Farakka stretch of the Ganga across Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal

Genesys International Corporation Limited has won a contract from the National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG), under the Ministry of Jal Shakti, to conduct an aerial LiDAR survey and geotagged videography of the drainage system along the River Ganga. The Mumbai-based geospatial company announced the project on May 14, 2026.

The project covers the Ballia-to-Farakka stretch of the Ganga across Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal. Genesys will deploy a combination of manned aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to capture geospatial data along the river corridor and its associated drainage systems.

Floodplain analysis

Deliverables include 3D LiDAR point clouds, orthorectified imagery, photogrammetric data and geotagged aerial video of natural and manmade drains feeding into the river. The company says the resulting dataset is intended to support drainage mapping, pollution hotspot identification, floodplain analysis and wastewater interception planning for river basin management.

Chairman and Managing Director Sajid Malik said the project demonstrated the viability of combining manned aerial systems with drone technology to generate “river intelligence at scale”, adding that the company views this as a growing geospatial vertical with applications across India’s river systems.

The contract adds to Genesys International’s portfolio of government geospatial assignments, which includes digital twin and 3D city modelling projects. The company’s stock closed at ₹208.80 on the NSE on May 15, 2026, down 2.61 per cent on the day, with a total market capitalisation of approximately ₹872 crore. The stock has shed over 50 per cent year-to-date and is down roughly 70 per cent over the past year from its 52-week high of ₹757.50 recorded in May 2025.
