Navayuga Spatial Technologies Private Limited is working on a pilot project on geographic information systems (GIS) for the Ras Al-Khaimah government in United Arab Emirates (UAE). |
The company will also be setting up a sales and support office in Ras Al-Khaimah in the next few months. |
|
Navayuga Spatial Technologies operates from Hyderabad and Bangalore and is part of the $250 million Navayuga Group. Navayuga Engineering Company Limited is the flagship company of the conglomerate. |
|
The other companies in the group's fold include Navayuga Exports Limited and Navayuga Infotech Pvt Ltd. |
|
"We have initiated the GIS project to build a spatial database and an Indian company - Navayuga - is working with us on it. The project covers global positioning system, remote sensing, photogrammetry and the likes," Muhammad Bul-Hamaam, chairman of the GIS committee in Ras Al-Khaimah, told mediapersons. |
|
A delegation of high-level officials from Ras Al-Khaimah is in India from August 11-16, 2006, to seek information and collaboration from Indian companies on IT. The team is also looking at attracting Indian companies to set up shop in Ras Al-Khaimah. |
|
According to Hashem Ar-Refaei, adviser to the Ras Al-Khaimah government on information technology, the actual project size could be close to $3 million and Navayuga will be competing with other companies for the project. |
|
"However, the chances of Navayuga bagging the project are high, considering that they are already working on the pilot project," he added. |
|
The delegation has also visited the Karnataka State Remote Sensing Applications Centre and is evaluating opportunities of collaboration. Meanwhile, the Ras Al-Khaimah government is also looking at increasing air connectivity with India. |
