The EGIS implementation at North Delhi Power Limited has won Infotech Enterprises the GITA Excellence Award. The award was presented by the Australian and New Zealand chapter of the Geospatial Information Technology Association at its October meeting in Sydney.

EGIS is fully integrated into NDPL's business and distribution management systems. It has thus become a source of information to provide data for operations, commercial, planning and asset management.

The project was centred on interfacing and integrating GIS with IT systems already used by the company to manage capital expenditure, assets, operations and commercial activities.

The key challenges faced by NDPL included imprecise legacy data created over several decades, inadequate space to create a proper distribution infrastructure, and poor customer data in terms of billing and operational details. The other business challenges faced by NDPL were around new connections, planning and asset management.

NDPL is a joint venture between Tata Power Company Limited and the government of the National Capital Territory Delhi.
