Continuing its push towards AI-enabled governance, Maharashtra government has introduced ‘MahaIndus’ after the launch of its MAHA-AI platform in June 2026. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis reviewed the ‘MahaSarathi’ portal on Wednesday (28th oct) at Sahyadri Guest House in Mumbai, where he launched the ‘MahaDBT2.0’, ‘Aaple Sarkar 2.0’, new services on the ‘Maitri’ portal and secure AI-based platform ‘MahaIndus’, developed in partnership with ‘Sarvam AI’.
This has 22 Indian languages support. There are tools such as GR Expert, which helps search for Government Resolutions (GRs) and track amendments, Email Summarizer, which summarises emails, and RFP Bid Evaluator, which simplifies tender comparisons.
Fisheries Minister Nitesh Rane, Right to Public Services Commission Chief Commissioner Manu Kumar Srivastava, Chief Secretary Rajesh Agrawal, and Information Technology and Artificial Intelligence Department Secretary Virendra Singh were among those present, an official release said.

Key Features of the MahaIndus AI Platform
Maharashtra will use AI, integrated databases and digital tools to become more efficient and transparent, said Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday as he launched a secure AI platform for administration.
This will ensure that government schemes are provided to only the right beneficiaries and measure the impact of welfare schemes.
Digital tools will allow officials to easily search through large volumes of Government Resolutions (GRs), manage correspondence and make administration easier. Maharashtra is the first state to utilise sovereign AI in this way, he said.
Launch of MahaDBT 2.0 and Aaple Sarkar 2.0.
MahaID has had a soft launch with over one crore IDs created. Once the backend has been integrated it will be rolled out on a larger scale, said the CM.
36 new schemes were launched on the MahaDBT 2.0 portal. This included 24 new schemes from the Fisheries department, 10 schemes from the Labour Department and 2 schemes from the Women & Child Development Department.
'Aaple Sarkar 2.0’ has 71 new services. This includes 61 new services from the Transport Department. 13 new services have been added to the Maitri portal from the Legal Metrology Department.
