Open, standards-based, sovereign data exchange
IUDX interconnects data silos through open APIs and consent, so providers retain full control over their data.
Open source — a freely available Digital Public Good with full ownership and no lock-in.
A national standard — adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards as IS 18003.
Consent-driven and auditable — data is shared only with explicit provider consent, and every access is logged.
Federated by design — independently operated resource servers participate in one governed exchange.
What a secure, open data exchange needs
Standards-based APIs, discovery, consent, and governance — delivered as modular, cloud-native microservices.
Open, standards-based APIs
Resource-access APIs harmonized with ETSI NGSI-LD, plus support for OGC, GTFS, FHIR, and consistent REST APIs for semantic and domain interoperability.
Catalogue & discovery
A Catalogue Server indexes datasets, APIs, and metadata as JSON-LD, with geo-spatial, attribute, and text search so consumers can find relevant resources.
Consent & access control
Dynamic, user-defined access policies, consent-driven sharing, a runtime policy engine and authorization services, and audit logs for full traceability.
Data ingestion
Pluggable adaptors for APIs, files, IoT, and message queues, with secure onboarding and validation pipelines for diverse data sources.
Federated & cloud-native
A modular microservices architecture that connects independently operated resource servers in centralised or federated deployments.
Security & observability
TLS everywhere, certificate-based authentication, API gateways for traffic control and rate limiting, immutable audit logs, and full-stack monitoring.
Three ways to access data, one trust fabric
IUDX supports bulk downloads, pull-based APIs, and push-based streams — all governed by consent and policy.
From departmental to national scale
Notable deployments span transportation, agriculture, healthcare, urban, and geospatial sectors.
Real-time smart city data sharing
Live IoT data sharing across 55 Indian cities through the IUDX platform (iudx.org.in).
India's National Geospatial Policy
A geospatial data platform supporting the National Geospatial Policy (geospatial.org.in).
Improved farmer loans with ADeX
Agri-data and the Agriculture Data Exchange (ADeX) improving farmer loans in Telangana (adex.org.in).
ICMR health data platform
A healthcare data platform for standardization, analysis, and sharing for the Indian Council of Medical Research.
Bangalore transportation stack
Real-time data streaming from 7,000 city buses across Bangalore.
Secure, scalable data exchange and beyond
Sovereign & vendor-neutral
Deployable and fully owned by governments and organizations, with no licensing cost and no dependence on a single provider.
Open & standards-compliant
Open source and built on open standards (NGSI-LD, OGC), adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards as IS 18003.
Federated & scalable
A cloud-native, microservices design that scales from a single department to national level, centralised or federated.
Consent & compliance
Consent-driven sharing, runtime policy enforcement, and auditable governance across every access.
