India’s new digital address system, “DIGIPIN,” is introduced by the Postal Department.

The Department of Posts has introduced DIGIPIN, a new digital address system that assigns every location in India a unique 10-character alphanumeric code based on its exact latitude and longitude. Unlike traditional PIN codes that cover broad areas, DIGIPIN divides the country into 4m x 4m grids, allowing for highly accurate location identification. This system is designed to streamline deliveries, support emergency services, and enhance e-commerce logistics. Users can easily find their DIGIPIN by pinpointing their address on the official website, ensuring privacy as no personal data is collected. Developed in collaboration with IIT Hyderabad and ISRO’s NRSC, DIGIPIN marks a major step towards digitalising India’s physical addresses.
