The upgraded labs will also work with a national data center that keeps records of sex offenders.
The police are asking companies to bid on providing the new equipment, and the deadline for bids is in mid-November.
Kolkata Police will initiate a Rs 5.8-crore project.
The project aims to upgrade cybercrime investigation laboratories.
Funding comes from the Nirbhaya project.
