Mumbai Police Reshuffle 2025 | DCP Transfers | Mumbai Police News

Mumbai | July 2025 — In a major administrative development, the Mumbai Police Commissionerate on Tuesday announced a fresh round of reshuffle involving 13 Deputy Commissioners of Police (DCPs). The transfer and posting orders were issued following a high-level meeting of the Police Establishment Board, aimed at enhancing law enforcement efficiency across the city. This marks another step in the ongoing efforts by the Maharashtra Government to bring structural clarity and strengthen policing in key zones. Among those impacted are officers who were recently brought in from other districts and have now been assigned specific operational roles within Mumbai.

According to officials, five DCP-rank officers transferred from other regions have now been deployed in crucial positions. Sunil Lokhande has been appointed to the Armed Police at Marol, while Mahendra Pandit has taken over as DCP of Zone 5, replacing Ganesh Gawade, who has been reassigned to the Protection Department. Other officers such as Nilesh Ashtekar and Vasant Jadhav have also been posted to important units. This reshuffle follows recent large-scale IPS movements in the state, reflecting the administration’s intention to optimize police management ahead of the upcoming civic and festival season in Mumbai.
