India allocated $27 million (Rs 227 crore) in 2025-26 for police tech and infrastructure upgrades under a central scheme.

The Indian government allocated Rs 227.42 crore by February 24, 2025, for police modernisation in 2025-26 under the ASUMP scheme, supporting technology and infrastructure upgrades like satellite communications, command centres, and forensic tools. Previous years saw funding ranging from Rs 36.69 crore in 2022-23 to Rs 117.15 crore in 2024-25. As policing is a state subject, states assess their needs while the Centre provides financial aid to improve efficiency, crime detection, and response times.
