As per the MoU signed by the company and Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis in Mumbai, 6,000 CCTVs will be installed across the metropolis and suburbs by September 2016.

The project was first proposed during the NCP-Congress regime post 26/11 terror attacks on Mumbai and has been delayed since then. It could not move ahead despite calling for bids four times as tenders did not receive response from companies.
