Sparsh CCTV, Innoviz Technologies and Cron AI partner to offer Security and Intelligent Transport System (ITS) Solution Across India
The collaboration aims to deploy LiDAR-camera perception nodes for perimeter and area monitoring across India unlocking real-time, edge-native intelligence for critical infrastructure NEW DELHI, July 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sparsh CCTV, one of India's leading manufacturers of smart cameras and integrated surveillance solutions with multiple government and enterprise clients in India, Innoviz Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: INVZ), a global automotive leader in LiDAR solutions, and Cron AI, a leading deep learning 3D perception provider, announced today the collaboration to offer an integrated LiDAR-camera-vision perception platform, purpose-built for large-scale deployment across transport, perimeter security, railways and critical infrastructure. The announcement comes at a time when India's perimeter security sector is valued at USD 3.23 billion (2022) and projected to grow at a CAGR of 14% through 2030¹. The intelligent transport market, currently worth USD 1.44 billion (2024), is expected to more than double by 2033². Meanwhile, railway modernization and infrastructure investments exceed USD 1.3 billion³, driven by national programs like DFCCIL and Kavach. Together, these sectors represent over USD 1 billion⁴ in addressable opportunity for edge-native LiDAR-camera systems — with massive scaling potential through 2030. With a footprint across 120 cities, a network of 2,000 partners and an annual production capacity of 500,000 security devices, Sparsh will lead go-to-market efforts, support integration and explore local manufacturing for the unified sensing platform. The edge-native perception nodes — combining high-performance LiDAR, deep-learning perception, and vision analytics — are expected to be a part of security infrastructure upgrade project which is planned to go live at critical infrastructure across India. These systems are intended to deliver real-time insights into vehicle movement, pedestrian safety and perimeter activity — all processed on the edge, without reliance on cloud compute or high-power infrastructure. "This partnership marks a major leap in how India can deploy high-performance, real-time sensing at scale," said Sanjeev Sehgal, Founder and MD of SparshCCTV. "By integrating global best-in-class LiDAR and 3D perception into our portfolio, we're equipping our customers across cities, industries, and government with intelligent systems that are built for Indian conditions and ready to scale." The integrated platform takes into account the complexities of Indian outdoor environments — heat, dust, glare, fog, and electrical instability and delivers continuous, low-latency awareness at the edge. • InnovizSMART LiDAR delivers long-range, high-resolution, uniform 3D coverage, built to perform in harsh weather and lighting conditions • Cron AI's senseEDGE processes every point in the LiDAR cloud using deep learning — not clustering — for greater accuracy, richer context, and consistent performance. It runs at just 8 watts, with no GPU or external infrastructure • Sparsh's vision systems contribute intelligent classification, layered redundancy, and real-time visual analytics — enhancing overall system reliability Together, they create a true sensor fusion platform, where 3D point cloud, video vision and edge-native AI combine to deliver next-gen situational awareness, deployable in the near future. "India's infrastructure needs intelligence that's fast, reliable, and frictionless," said Tushar Chhabra, Founder and CEO - Cron AI."We built senseEDGE for exactly this kind of real-world complexity. With Sparsh and Innoviz, we are making 3D perception truly scalable across India's cities and critical infrastructure." "Innoviz is proud to bring our rugged, automotive-grade LiDAR technology to one of the world's fastest growing infrastructure markets," said Omer Keilaf, CEO and Co-founder - Innoviz Technologies. "Paired with Cron AI's powerful edge-native perception and Sparsh's national reach, we are going to enable real-time intelligence for India's transport, security, and smart city initiatives." From intersections, railways to critical infrastructure and perimeters, this is the future of sensing in India — real-time, intelligent, and built for deployment at scale.

Indian CCTV firms likely to benefit from U.S.-China direct trade war
The trade war between the United States and China is expected to create business opportunities for Indian CCTV makers to export to the U.S., which is perhaps the biggest market for the device in terms of value. Though the U.S. had banned Chinese made CCTV cameras in government procurement due to allegations of cybersecurity violations, the private sector sourced them. But this might decline due to steep tariffs. 'With this trade war going on between China and U.S., it brings in a huge opportunity for domestic manufacturers like us for even exporting to U.S.,' said Sanjeev Sehgal, Founder & Managing Director, Sparsh CCTV, among top three players in the segment. 'We are working hard toward how we can get maximum benefit out of it,' Mr. Sehgal told The Hindu. 'Because there is no clarity now, we need to see once all the things settle down and take a decision. So, we are seeing a good number of inquiries coming from U.S.,' he said. To start with, the firm would export to the U.S. and depending on the opportunity, it may set up a manufacturing unit there. Sparsh CCTV has already set up a subsidiary in the U.S. and is establishing a joint venture in Saudi Arabia to expand into those key markets. Expected surge The company, which started focusing on exports since January this year, is expecting its exports volume to surge from 1-2% of the turnover now to about 20% this fiscal year. India's decision to keep Chinese CCTV companies out of the domestic market by making it mandatory for suppliers to have Standardisation Testing and Quality Certification (STQC) is expected to benefit local firms ike Sparsh, which is the first entity to get such a certification. This requirement has come into force from April 9, 2025. New norms 'After the 9th of April, all CCTV cameras to be sold in India have to be certified as per the new BIS ER norms. So, only those CCTV cameras approved by BIS can be sold, hired, stored, or even given on lease in India,' Mr. Sehgal said. 'Which is basically the ER testing and certification from STQC, which is the testing standards and certification body under the Ministry of Electronics,' he added. Railways contract Stating that the government policy has started benefiting Indian firms, he said, 'We have got some major successes out of it. One of the major successes is railways. So, we are doing at almost 5,000 railway stations across India.' He said this regulation and export opportunity to the U.S. would lead to a 100% growth in the company's volumes this year. 'We believe that we should minimum grow by 100%, because with this new regulation coming in, most of the Chinese brands will not be able to get the certification. Because they [BIS] are asking for the source code and everything,' he said. Chinese control Chinese firms control 75% of India's estimated ₹12,000 crore CCTV market, which is growing at a CAGR of 20%. To cater to the demand, the company will be investing ₹300 crore in three years to expand capacity. This is projected to grow over 10 times from 1 million units a year to 1 million units a month in three to four years Mr. Sehgal said.
