Delhi creates central assets registry, maps 16,000 properties under various depts
The Delhi government has identified more than 16,000 assets across over 60 departments as part of mapping land parcels and properties. It has developed the Delhi Asset Management Information System (DAMIS), a centralised, GIS-enabled repository to streamline records and asset management. The initiative aims to improve decision-making, transparency, and efficiency in utilisation of public resources.
Why It Matters
Consolidating fragmented property records into a single system allows for clearer ownership and usage data, enabling faster planning and coordinated departmental action.

Delhi maps 16,000 assets under 60 departments with DAMIS central registry
May 4, 2026
The Delhi government has identified more than 16,000 assets across over 60 departments as part of a comprehensive exercise to map land parcels and properties under its ownership. The data collected includes properties from key land-owning agencies such as the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board, Public Works Department, and Delhi Jal Board. These assets include land parcels, buildings, and leased properties. The process is ongoing, with departments continuing to upload details to the system through designated nodal officers. The government’s information technology department has developed the Delhi Asset Management Information System (DAMIS), a centralised digital repository that consolidates property records previously maintained separately by different departments. DAMIS is GIS-enabled, allowing departments to use high-resolution satellite imagery for mapping and spatial analysis. The platform supports standardised record-keeping, dashboards, and analytical tools for monitoring and reporting, helping to visualise asset distribution and enhance transparency and efficiency.
