Avichal,
we need the same GDS info as the Grib1 products, La1, Lo1, La2, Lo2, Di, and
Dj. I cut and pasted
the info from NCEP grib1 documentation.

11 - 13
La1 - latitude of first grid point; units: millidegrees (degrees x
1000); values limited to range 0 - 90,000; bit 1 (leftmost) set to 1 for south
latitude
14 - 16
Lo1 - longitude of first grid point; units: millidegrees (degrees x
1000); values limited to range 0 - 360,000; bit 1 (leftmost) set to 1 for west
longitude
17
Resolution and component flags (See Table 7)
18 - 20
La2 - Latitude of last grid point
(same units, value range, and bit 1 as La1)
21 - 23
Lo2 - Longitude of last grid point (same units, value range, and bit 1
as Lo1)
24 - 25
Di - Longitudinal Direction Increment (same units as Lo1) (if not
given, all bits set = 1)
26 - 27
Regular Lat/Lon Grid: Dj - Latitudinal Direction Increment (same units
as La1) (if not given, all bits set = 1)
or
Gaussian Grid: N - number of latitude circles between a pole and the equator
Mandatory if Gaussian Grid specified
