Nadella Unveils MahaCrimeOS AI for Maharashtra Cybercrime, State Plans Rollout to 1,100 Police Stations

Built with Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI tools after a Nagpur pilot that cut probe times by about 80%, the platform is set to standardise digital casework across the force.

Overview

  • Microsoft launched the platform publicly at its AI Tour in Mumbai, with Satya Nadella and Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis highlighting its role in AI-driven governance.
  • MahaCrimeOS AI is currently operational in 23 police stations in Nagpur, with officials outlining an expansion to all 1,100 stations across Maharashtra.
  • The system was developed by CyberEye with the state’s MARVEL SPV and Microsoft India Development Center, and it runs on Azure OpenAI Service and Microsoft Foundry.
  • Capabilities include instant digital case creation, multilingual data extraction, contextual legal guidance, automated workflows, case-linking and open-source intelligence for analysing digital evidence.
  • State and company officials cited India’s surge in cybercrime—over 3.6 million incidents in 2024—as the driver for adoption, and the event also featured Microsoft’s $17.5 billion India commitment and Maharashtra’s Brookfield GCC plan.
