SoftTech Engineers Launches CivitTWIN: India's First AI-Powered Digital Approval Twin for BMC​

SoftTech Engineers Limited has successfully collaborated with the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to develop and launch CivitTWIN, a groundbreaking AI-powered Digital Approval Twin designed for managing building permits. The platform's launch was marked by the presence of the Hon. Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Shri Devendra Fadnavis ji, along with the Mayor of Mumbai, Smt. Ritu Tawade ji, and the Municipal Commissioner of Mumbai Municipal Corporation, Smt. Ashwini Bhide, at a recent Tech Week event in Mumbai.

CivitTWIN is set to revolutionize the regulatory journey for construction and development in the metropolitan area.

Addressing Complex Urban Planning Challenges​

Before the introduction of CivitTWIN, the BMC had to evaluate substantial volumes of proposals, dealing with over 8,000 complex building proposals annually, covering more than 40 lakh square meters of approved built-up area. The traditional approval process posed significant challenges, requiring applicants to complete 450+ manual form inputs and coordinate validation across more than 25 independent No Objection Certificate (NOC) departments, while also validating over 60 distinct documents. This process was noted as being time-intensive and susceptible to errors.

How CivitTWIN Functions​

CivitTWIN fundamentally transforms this workflow by offering a digital rehearsal of the entire regulatory process. The platform enables architects and applicants to upload, simulate, identify gaps, and rectify their building plans in real time, allowing for corrections before formal submission on the AutoDCR SWC portal.

The system is technologically robust, powered by 12 specialized AI Agents. These agents manage the Creation, Review, and Submission workflows, allowing them to read and process unstructured data sourced from various inputs, including documents, drawings, GIS-based city maps, and historical data patterns.

The key benefits and impact of adopting CivitTWIN include:

Strategic Impact on GovTech Sector​

This initiative marks a significant shift in urban governance, positioning Soft Tech Engineers Limited at the forefront of AI-powered GovTech solutions in India. CivitTWIN represents a paradigm shift—moving the focus from 'finding errors after submission' to proactively 'verifying success before submission.'

SoftTech Engineers Limited specializes in developing digital solutions for the Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operations (AECO), and infrastructure sectors. The company provides enterprise platforms that help government bodies and infrastructure organizations digitize planning, approvals, and project monitoring. Its product suite, which includes CivitPLAN & CivitPERMIT (AutoDCR®), CivitINFRA (PWIMS), and CivitBUILD (Opticon), supports greater efficiency and transparency in public infrastructure and urban development across India.
