The integration of NATGRID with the National Population Register significantly strengthens India’s intelligence and law-enforcement framework. NPR is a comprehensive, family-wise database of usual residents of India, maintained under the Citizenship Act. By linking NATGRID with NPR, agencies gain access to verified demographic and familial relationships, enabling deeper network analysis and faster identification of suspects. This integration supports counter-terrorism, crime detection, and tracking of movement patterns by combining real-time intelligence with reliable population data, thereby improving coordination, accuracy, and efficiency in criminal investigations across authorised agencies.
