Summary
What This Is: MSED has issued a public EOI inviting registered companies/agencies to propose an AI/ML-based CCTV Surveillance System for deployment at licensed liquor vending premises across Maharashtra. This is a market-sounding/vendor-identification exercise, not a binding tender or contract.
Key Objectives
- Age verification: AI/ML system to detect the age of persons entering licensed liquor vending premises and trigger alerts if underage individuals attempt entry
- Post-hours enforcement: System to detect and alert if liquor is being served beyond prescribed working hours
