MTES runs on 69 interceptor vehicles for the Maharashtra Motor Vehicles Department

The Mobile Traffic Enforcement System turns each interceptor into an enforcement unit that detects violations on the move.

Maharashtra · Mobile Traffic Enforcement System (MTES)

Overview

Maharashtra, March 2026. The Maharashtra Motor Vehicles Department has deployed MTES, our Mobile Traffic Enforcement System, across 69 interceptor vehicles.

The challenge

Maharashtra has 3.6 crore registered vehicles and 3 lakh km of roads. Manual enforcement caught only about 10% of violators. Vehicles above 140 km/h were nearly impossible to catch, and the open boot of an interceptor warned violators from a distance.

What changed

  • Detection rate: from about 10% to near 100%
  • Speed enforcement: up to 230 km/h
  • Processing time: from 15 to 30 seconds per case to real time
  • Night operations: from limited to full IR support
  • Infrastructure: from fixed towers to mobile and flexible

MTES detects overspeeding, no helmet, no seatbelt, triple riding, non-standard plates and expired documents. Each case carries an image and video evidence, generated automatically.

The system is integrated with NIC, VAHAN and Sarathi for e-challan generation. All 69 vehicles are monitored in real time from a central location, and hierarchy-based validation keeps each challan accountable.
