Maharashtra IT department emerges as primary cloud service provider for govt departments
Pune: Maharashtra's Information Technology Corporation Ltd (MahaIT) has become the main cloud service provider for govt departments. Senior state IT officials confirmed that several departments have already began migrating their data to MahaIT's cloud platform, marking a strategic shift in the state's data management approach. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "It is a win-win situation — departments gain peace of mind regarding data safety and security, while we strengthen our capabilities in cloud services," said an official. The move has come in the aftermath of a major controversy earlier this year when MahaIT filed a criminal complaint against a private cloud vendor and its directors over alleged extortion and threats to delete sensitive govt data. The FIR accused the firm of breaching contract terms and blocking access to services for eight departments after invoicing for undelivered services. The matter escalated to Bombay High Court, which directed affected departments to transfer their data to MahaIT's cloud. Launched under Maharashtra's 2018 public cloud policy — the first of its kind in India — the state mandated all govt departments to store data on cloud platforms, opening a Rs 200 crore opportunity for cloud service providers. However, concerns over security and vendor reliability have since prompted a greater push for in-house cloud solutions. Currently, MahaIT is in discussion with multiple departments to broaden cloud adoption on its platform, aiming to consolidate govt data under a single, secure service provider. Many departments, such as the state registration department, the agriculture department, and many others, have shifted to cloud. "There are several departments that are already using cloud services. We will reach out to all departments and put across our services,'' an IT official added.
