Business Requirement & Existing Challenges

Lloyds Metals acquires land from multiple sources to support its mining operations, creating a need for a centralized system to manage the complete land lifecycle—from identification and acquisition to approvals, ownership, payments, transfers, and ongoing management.

Before LAMS, approximately 10,000 land records across 6 villages were managed manually, making it difficult to maintain accurate data, retrieve documents, track activities, and coordinate stakeholders.

Key Challenges

• Manual land database management: Around 10,000 land records across 6 villages were maintained manually.
• Fragmented document management: Land, ownership, approval, and payment documents lacked a centralized repository.
• Manual ownership tracking: Parcel details, ownership, land shares, and family relationships were manually maintained.
• Manual acquisition tracking: Proposals, approvals, pending actions, and follow-ups were tracked across multiple sources.
• Complex lease payment management: Payments, advances, dues, schedules, and transaction histories required significant manual monitoring.
• Payment reconciliation issues: Ownership, payment entitlement, and actual payment mismatches were difficult to identify and track.
• Complex ownership and payment transfers: Changes in ownership, beneficiaries, or payment entitlements required manual validation and tracking.

How LAMS Helped:

LAMS transformed Lloyds Metals’ land management from fragmented, manual processes into a centralized, GIS-enabled digital platform serving as a single source of truth for land records, ownership, acquisition, payments, documents, and related activities.

Key Capabilities

• GIS-based land digitization: Geo-referenced cadastral maps integrated with Google imagery for improved visualization and land monitoring.
• End-to-end acquisition tracking: Management of acquisition stages, approvals, legal disputes, compensation, and R&R activities.
• Centralized document management: Quick and secure access to land-related records and supporting documents.
• R&R management: Supports fair compensation for Project Affected Families (PAFs) while minimizing duplication through integrated family trees.
• Payment and cost management: Supports land valuation, compensation, lease payments, and payment reconciliation.
• Dashboards and reports: Provides real-time visibility into land status, acquisition progress, payments, and key operational metrics.

Through LAMS, Lloyds Metals has digitized and centrally managed land parcels across Ghugus and Konsari, Gadchiroli, Maharashtra, improving transparency, data accuracy, monitoring, and overall operational efficiency.

Project Outcomes

LAMS has enabled Lloyds Metals to establish a centralized, transparent, and data-driven land management ecosystem. By digitizing land records and integrating ownership, acquisition, payments, documents, and GIS information, the solution has improved data accuracy, process visibility, operational control, and decision-making across the land management lifecycle.

The implementation has also reduced dependency on manual processes, simplified information retrieval, strengthened traceability, and provided a scalable foundation for managing land assets and acquisition activities more efficiently.
