The New Indian Express Thrissur
|May 08, 2025
A latest study by the Survey of India (SoI) and the National Hydrographic Office, using accurate satellite imagery data, has revealed that the total length of India's coastline is 11,098.81 km and not 7,516.60 as what a manual survey conducted in 1970 showed.
The report is based on the assessment done using satellite data to the scale of 1:2,50,000 with the help of the National Remote Sensing Centre, and taking into account 1,389 islands that were added to the list before the latest survey was conducted.
This story is from the May 08, 2025 edition of The New Indian Express Thrissur.
