Nagpur-based geospatial and engineering tech firm leads the digital overhaul of the central Indian state’s mining operations.
Nagpur-based geospatial and engineering technology company, CS TECH Ai, has overseen the seamless launch of Chhattisgarh Infotech Promotion Society’s (CHiPS) Khanij Online 2.0 (KO 2.0) platform, marking a key milestone in India’s push for technology-led and transparent mineral governance.
CS TECH Ai, the system integrator for the project, ensured uninterrupted continuity of the earlier Khanij Online (CHiMMS) application while leading the complete design, development, implementation, and maintenance of the upgraded platform.
“Khanij Online 2.0 is more than a digital platform; it represents a structural reform. By embedding compliance at every stage of mineral movement, we have created a system that is intrinsically transparent and financially accountable,” said Rahul Johrapurkar, COO, CS TECH Ai (formerly Ceinsys Tech Ltd).
He acknowledged the contribution of CSM Technologies, led by Priyadarshi Pany, CMD & CEO, as a key project partner.
Built on an ‘enforcement-by-design’ framework, Khanij Online 2.0 integrates compliance within every stage of mineral operations. No mineral dispatch can occur without a prepaid e-permit and active GPS verification, creating a real-time, fully auditable logistics chain and plugging revenue leakages.
The unified, cloud-based system brings the entire mining value chain—from lease management and logistics to vehicle tracking and command control—onto a single digital platform, replacing paper-driven processes with real-time governance tools.
The launch highlights CS TECH Ai’s growing leadership in digital and geospatial solutions. The company has recently developed an IoT-based monitoring system for the Jal Jeevan Mission, enabling real-time tracking of water quality, and is preparing a detailed project report for one of India’s largest river-linking projects, utilising advanced LiDAR and engineering design.
