NEW DELHI | January 09, 2026
Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation, Amit Shah, officially inaugurated the National IED Data Management System (NIDMS) for the National Security Guard (NSG) today via video conferencing. Developed under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, this cutting-edge platform marks a significant milestone in India’s internal security. By integrating decades of data into a systematic, searchable repository, NIDMS is set to become the country’s next-generation security shield, transforming how investigation agencies analyze and neutralize terrorist threats.
The NIDMS serves as a comprehensive, two-way online platform that bridges the gap between various security silos. It provides the National Investigation Agency (NIA), State Anti-Terrorism Squads (ATS), and Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) with single-click access to scattered case files. Utilizing advanced Artificial Intelligence, the system connects with existing databases like CCTNS and ICJS-2 to create a robust national security grid. This “One Nation, One Data Repository” approach ensures that information previously hidden in individual files becomes a national asset, enabling police units to identify explosion patterns, circuit methods, and modus operandi with unprecedented speed and accuracy.
During the inauguration, Amit Shah highlighted that the database contains meticulous records of every bomb explosion in India since 1999. By analyzing this historical data alongside real-time inputs, the NIDMS will facilitate scientific, evidence-based prosecution and foster seamless coordination between agencies. The Home Minister also lauded the NSG as a “zero-error force,” noting that the expansion of regional hubs—including a new center in Ayodhya—will soon allow the force to reach any corner of India within 90 minutes. With the integration of NIDMS into the broader digital security infrastructure, India is reinforcing its commitment to a terror-free future through technology and data-driven intelligence.
