Microsoft has launched MahaCrimeOS AI, a powerful artificial intelligence–driven platform designed to enhance cybercrime investigation and law enforcement efficiency across Maharashtra. The announcement was made by Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella at the Microsoft AI Tour in Mumbai, highlighting the growing role of AI in public safety and digital governance.

Developed in collaboration with CyberEye, Maharashtra’s special purpose vehicle MARVEL, and the Microsoft India Development Centre, the Azure-powered platform is already live in 23 police stations in Nagpur. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has proposed expanding MahaCrimeOS AI to all 1,100 police stations across the state, marking a major step toward AI-enabled policing at scale.

MahaCrimeOS AI automates critical investigative tasks such as rapid FIR creation, multilingual data extraction, and contextual legal guidance. By integrating AI assistants, secure cloud infrastructure, automated workflows, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), the platform enables officers to access accurate legal statutes, precedents, and case insights in real time.

According to Microsoft, automation has reduced FIR creation time to just 15 minutes and shortened investigative processes from months to nearly a week, significantly improving productivity. The initiative reflects Maharashtra’s broader vision of using AI to deliver more efficient, transparent, and citizen-centric governance while empowering officers to handle complex cybercrime cases with greater speed and confidence.
