- E-Mojani (Marathi for “e-measurement”) is Maharashtra’s digital land survey and measurement platform, using modern surveying technology (including GPS/GNSS-based tools) to replace older manual chain-and-tape survey methods.
- The 2.0 upgrade, pushed forward under Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule in 2026, focuses on faster processing, improved accuracy, and better integration with existing land record systems like 7/12 and Property Card data.
- Digital survey methods reduce human error and processing time compared to traditional manual measurement, directly supporting related initiatives like the 30-day survey completion guarantee.
- For land buyers, more accurate and faster digital surveys mean greater confidence in boundary and area data used during due diligence and transaction closing.

E-Mojani 2.0 is the upgraded version of Maharashtra’s digital land measurement and survey platform, part of a broader technology modernization push by Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule aimed at making land surveys faster, more accurate, and better connected to the state’s existing digital land record ecosystem. Traditional land measurement using manual chain-and-tape methods has historically been slow and prone to human error; digital survey technology addresses both issues directly, with downstream benefits for anyone relying on accurate boundary and area data — which is to say, essentially every land buyer.
What E-Mojani Does
E-Mojani applies modern surveying technology — including GPS/GNSS-based measurement tools — to conduct land surveys with significantly improved speed and precision compared to traditional manual methods. Survey data captured digitally can be more readily cross-referenced against existing 7/12, 8A, and Property Card records, reducing the discrepancies that sometimes arise between older recorded measurements and current on-ground reality.
What’s New in the 2.0 Upgrade
| Area of Improvement | Focus |
|---|---|
| Processing speed | Faster turnaround on survey requests, supporting the parallel 30-day survey guarantee initiative |
| Data integration | Improved connectivity with 7/12, 8A, and Property Card systems for consistent record-keeping |
| Measurement accuracy | Reduced margin of error compared to manual chain-and-tape methods |
Why This Matters for Land Buyers
- More reliable area and boundary data. Digital survey precision reduces the risk of buying land based on inaccurate or outdated area figures.
- Faster resolution of measurement requests. A more efficient survey process directly supports quicker transaction timelines when a fresh survey is needed as part of due diligence.
- Better cross-referencing with existing records. Improved integration means discrepancies between a plot’s recorded and actual measurements are more likely to surface and be resolved during the survey process itself.
“Manual survey methods have been a genuine source of measurement disputes for decades — a chain-and-tape measurement from forty years ago and a modern GPS-based measurement can legitimately produce different numbers. E-Mojani’s digital approach doesn’t eliminate every discrepancy, but it meaningfully reduces the room for measurement error going forward.” — Girish Chhalwani, Founder & CEO, THE EDGE Developments
What This Means for Survey Costs and Licensed Surveyors
Faster, more standardized digital measurement also has a knock-on effect on how survey work is priced and delivered. As E-Mojani reduces the time a government survey team spends per plot, it changes the calculus for when a buyer needs to pay for a supplementary private survey versus simply waiting for the standard government process. See our breakdown of current land measurement fees in Maharashtra for how government and private surveyor costs compare, and where digital tools are shifting that balance. For buyers on a tight transaction timeline, understanding both the government E-Mojani pathway and the licensed private surveyor option side by side is the practical way to decide which route gets you a verified measurement fastest.
FAQ
What is E-Mojani?
E-Mojani is Maharashtra’s digital land survey and measurement platform, using modern technology like GPS/GNSS tools instead of traditional manual chain-and-tape methods.
What’s different about E-Mojani 2.0?
The upgrade focuses on faster processing, improved measurement accuracy, and better integration with existing land record systems like 7/12 and Property Card data.
How does digital survey technology benefit land buyers?
It provides more reliable area and boundary data, faster turnaround on survey requests, and better cross-referencing with existing land records.
Does E-Mojani replace the need for a physical site survey?
No, it’s the technology used to conduct the survey itself — a physical measurement still occurs, but with modern digital tools rather than manual methods.
Is E-Mojani connected to the 30-day survey guarantee initiative?
Yes, faster digital processing under E-Mojani directly supports the broader push toward completing survey requests within a guaranteed timeline.
