The Government is preparing to integrate a "digital address" system into the country's Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI). The initiative aims to streamline address verification, ensure secure data sharing, and enhance last-mile delivery of public services, the Government announced in an official statement.

The proposed system would standardise how addresses are stored and shared, with a core emphasis on user consent and data security. This digital framework seeks to fix the longstanding inefficiencies of India's address system, which often relies on vague landmarks or incomplete information, obstacles that have long hampered e-commerce, logistics, and government services.

Vandita Kaul, Secretary, Department of Posts, said, "The launch of these two applications reflects our Government's unwavering commitment to digital transformation and precision governance. DIGIPIN, in particular, will redefine how we perceive addresses, ensuring that every citizen, even in the remotest part of the country, is digitally locatable and serviceable. These applications are a testimony to the Department's continued efforts to modernise infrastructure and meet the evolving expectations of citizens and all other stakeholders," in the official announcement.
