Note: This gazette does not contain a legislative amendment, fee revision, or rule change under the Bombay Prohibition Act, 1949. It is an administrative/procurement document — a Request for Expression of Interest (EOI) for a technology solution. The standard amendment summary format does not apply. A descriptive summary is provided below.
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.
