Beyond Imports: How India Is Building a Self-Reliant CCTV Ecosystem
Three consecutive years of global recognition, two decades of indigenous engineering, and a growing role in India's surveillance ecosystem. Discover how Sparsh CCTV is building homegrown surveillance intelligence through in-house R&D, Securi-Tech, AI and secure camera technology.
For three consecutive years, Sparsh CCTV has been recognized as the World's Fastest-Growing Security Company, recording the highest growth rate in its category in the global security industry. This sustained achievement reflects the company's growing position in an industry traditionally dominated by international players, and demonstrates that Indian manufacturers can compete and lead on the global stage.
For Sparsh CCTV, this global recognition is rooted in a belief that has guided the company for over two decades: the eyes that guard a nation should be built by the nation. That belief is now finding greater relevance as India begins to rethink its dependence on imported surveillance technology. In 2025, analysts estimated some 80% of CCTV components came from China, and Chinese brands held roughly a third of the market. Then the tide turned: Indian brands' share of IP camera revenue jumped from 27% in FY25 to 73% in FY26.
Behind those imported lenses lay foreign chips and closed firmware: systems India could use, but rarely inspect or control. Since this April, cameras that fail India's security requirements can no longer be sold. With the market set to grow from ₹10,200 crore to ₹24,600 crore by FY29, the question is whether India can build the intelligence inside its cameras.
Sparsh CCTV had been answering that question long before it was asked. Under Mr. Sanjeev Sehgal , Founder & Managing Director , it invested in its own R&D when importing was easier, guided by one aim: design and development in India, for the world . Intelligence has never been an add on at Sparsh CCTV. Indian teams engineer it into the company's cameras, firmware, software and systems, including an AI team that is 60% women.
That intelligence now has a name, and it was born in India: Securi-Tech , one platform uniting cameras, 40+ video analytics , cloud and command centres. A network of 500 cameras can record about 12,000 hours of footage a day , far more than any team can watch. With Ask Securi an operator simply asks, "Which cameras went offline today?" The same Indian engineering reaches the lens. Sparsh CCTV's 5MP global shutter camera freezes speeding trains and vehicles at up to 1/100,000 of a second, and is STQC cyber security certified, with signed firmware and 256 bit AES encryption.
The stakes are real. This April, Delhi Police said feeds from cameras near defence sites had been routed through a Chinese company's cloud to handlers in Pakistan for about three months. Yet six months after the rules took effect, Reuters found that more than 700 of about 770 internet camera listings on Amazon and Flipkart were for unlicensed models , some from Chinese brands under sub brand labels. The rules are written; the real test is enforcement. And from May 2027, under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, failing to safeguard personal data such as identifiable camera footage can draw penalties of up to ₹250 crore.
Trust has to be proven. Sparsh CCTV was the first Indian company to receive STQC certification across its CCTV product line. Its systems guard more than half of India's railway stations and 40+ airports . Mr. Sanjeev Sehgal convenes the BIS panel on video surveillance. In its factories, Indian hands build these cameras; in its labs, Indian engineers teach them to think.
