Winning India's cleanest city title has put Navi Mumbai’s civic administration under pressure to keep its crown, and the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) is turning to Artificial Intelligence (AI) to ensure that garbage does not pile up again.

The civic body plans to install 200 AI-enabled cameras across the city to identify garbage accumulation, monitor litter-prone locations, and help officials respond to sanitation issues. The move is aimed at ensuring that the city’s cleanliness standards do not slip after securing the top position in the national cleanliness survey.
