At the Microsoft AI Tour in Mumbai, Microsoft Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella unveiled MahaCrimeOS AI in the presence of Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis.
Devendra Fadnavis, Chief Minister of Maharashtra, said: “Ethical and responsible AI for public good is our core motto. AI has the power to transform by improving efficiency, enhancing quality of life, and delivering true ease of living for every citizen…Our collaboration with Microsoft began with solving complex cybercrime challenges, but its potential is far greater. AI today touches every sphere of human activity, from healthcare and agriculture to industry and governance and we intend to harness this power responsibly to create a more effective, citizen centric state."
Fadnavis also proposed the future expansion of MahaCrimeOS AI, currently live in 23 Nagpur police stations, to all 1,100 police stations across Maharashtra.
What is MahaCrimeOS AI?
MahaCrimeOS AI is a pioneering, AI and Azure powered platform developed by CyberEye, innovators in cutting-edge technologies of Cyber Security & IoT and a Partner ISV of Microsoft, with the Maharashtra Government’s Special Purpose Vehicle MARVEL, and Microsoft India Development Center (IDC), stated the press note.
How will it help Maharashtra fight crimes?
MahaCrimeOS AI is designed to augment officers with AI tools so they can resolve cases faster and more efficiently, combining human expertise with responsible innovation.
How MahaCrimeOS AI works?
MahaCrimeOS AI is built on Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service and Microsoft Foundry, integrating advanced AI assistants, automated workflows, and secure cloud infrastructure. The platform enables instant case creation, multilingual data extraction, and contextual legal assistance—reducing manual effort and allowing officers to focus on solving complex cybercrimes.
With built-in access to India’s criminal laws through integrated AI RAG and open-source intelligence, MahaCrimeOS AI helps investigators link cases, analyze digital evidence, and respond to threats faster and more effectively.
The Microsoft India Development Center (IDC) worked closely with CyberEye and MARVEL to tailor the solution for real-world policing needs, standardizing investigation workflows and ensuring secure, compliant deployment.
The proposed statewide expansion—championed by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis—will enable police stations across Maharashtra to digitally register and investigate cybercrimes using standardized, AI-powered workflows.
