8.0
NATGRID, India's national intelligence query platform, gains traction in late 2025 after a November conference, processing about 45,000 requests monthly and widening access to state police, including Superintendent of Police ranks. Reports say NATGRID is being integrated with the National Population Register of 1.19 billion residents and deploying 'Gandiva' entity-resolution and facial-recognition tools, raising concerns about algorithmic bias and lack of statutory oversight.
