NTPC Ramagundam got the clearance from Ministry of Environment and Forests for setting up of Telangana Phase-I (2*800 MW) project. The clearance is with a condition that Landuse/Landcover status must be generated using the latest authenticated satellite imagery and should be submitted on annual basis.

NTPC Ramagundam has approached TGRAC in this regard, as per the requirements of the Ministry, a proposal to interpret and analyse annually the multi date satellite imagery, for monitoring the Landuse/Landcover for eight years is submitted.

Objective :
  1. To interpret the spatial distribution of LU/LC features and analyze the extent of temporal changes on 1:10,000 scale
  2. Identification and depiction of areas with major changes between 2016-17 and 2023-24
  3. Preparation of report containing category-wise change statistics; spatial distribution of change and other ancillary information like ground truth point file along with ground photos
Deliverables :
  1. Seamless land use/land cover layer of 2016-17 and 2023-24 along with statistics and cross-matrix.
  2. Land use/land cover change map between 2016-17 and 2023-24 along with change statistics and cross-matrix table.
  3. Preparation of report containing category-wise change statistics; spatial distribution of change and other ancillary information like ground truth point file along with ground photos
