Maharashtra has a total of

According to the data, Nagpur City Police Commissionerate has 64 police stations, while Nagpur Rural Police has 25 police stations, taking the total number of administrative police stations in the Nagpur region to 89. Separately, the RTI states that the Nagpur Railway Police operates six police stations, bringing the overall policing network in the region to 95 stations.
The RTI also highlights the distribution of police stations across other major commissionerates. Mumbai City tops the list with 103 police stations, followed by Nagpur City (64), Pune City (54), Thane City (36) and Navi Mumbai (29).
