Indian Licensing (PSARA 2005)

Why protection in Mumbai must be licensed.

In India, the Private Security Agencies (Regulation) Act 2005 (PSARA) licenses agencies at state level, with personnel trained and verified. Armed protection is tightly controlled.

Algoz coordinates protection in Mumbai exclusively through this licensed framework, with every operative PSARA-licensed, NDA-bound and discreet. See how our close protection works, add concierge and secure transport, or extend across New Delhi and Dubai.

Indicative Investment

What protection in Mumbai costs.

As a guide, professional close protection in this market is, in 2026, from EUR 850 per day for a single principal on twelve-hour cover - the market base - with the final rate shaped by the profile, the threat picture and the season, and confirmed on enquiry with no obligation. Specialist profiles, armed or armoured requirements, short-notice mobilisation and peak season carry a premium.

Actors, musicians, athletes, royals and the people the world recognises - celebrity protection is its own discipline: anti-paparazzi strategy, leak-proof operations, crowd and stalker management, and details that switch from red carpet to invisible in the same day.

Good to Know

Bodyguard in Mumbai - Frequently Asked Questions

Why use Algoz rather than hiring a local security agency in Mumbai directly?

India licenses security firms state by state under PSARA 2005, and Mumbai alone holds hundreds of them, from disciplined professionals to outfits that exist mostly on paper. A visiting principal has no realistic way to audit training records, verify Maharashtra licensing or judge how a team behaves in a premiere crowd before committing to it. Algoz has already made those judgements: engagements across the city have left us a vetted shortlist and nothing else. We match the team to your itinerary, whether boardrooms in South Mumbai or an evening on a studio floor, brief it under NDA and supervise it throughout, so a single accountable contact replaces the vendor lottery.

Is it legal to hire a bodyguard in India?

Yes. Under the Private Security Agencies (Regulation) Act 2005 (PSARA), agencies are licensed at state level. Algoz coordinates only PSARA-licensed operatives, discreetly and under NDA.

Do you protect business families and visiting principals in Mumbai?

Yes. Licensed officers and secure transport cover residences, business meetings, weddings and events for Indian business families and visiting principals, coordinated discreetly through one point of contact.

Can you manage movement through Mumbai's crowds and traffic?

Yes. Our operatives plan routing and timing around the city's density and congestion, keeping clients moving smoothly and discreetly throughout.

Do you provide discreet protection for public figures?

Yes. We provide low-profile cover for entertainers and public figures on location, managing access and crowds quietly in the background.

Can you provide family and residential cover?

Yes. We arrange attentive protection for family movement and residential security across South Mumbai, Malabar Hill and other districts.

Are your operatives licensed in India?

Yes. All operational execution is carried out by partners holding the required Indian private-security licensing under PSARA, fluent in Hindi and English.

Can the client choose the bodyguard they prefer?

Given fair notice, usually yes. Clients may ask for an officer fluent in Hindi and English, a female CPO for family and residence duties, or a plainclothes profile that draws no attention in a hotel lobby or at a premiere. We present matching candidates where we can, but the composition of the detail always follows our security assessment first.
