NEW DELHI, July 27 (Reuters) - Alphabet Inc's  GOOGL.O 
Google Maps has launched its street view service in 10 cities in
India in partnership with Tech Mahindra and Genesys, a company
executive said on Wednesday.
    The Indian government had previously rejected the rollout of
the feature, which shows panoramic images of roads and other
sites. The rollout was denied due to security reasons, according
to local media.     
    Data collection was entirely done by the local partners,
Google said on Wednesday, adding that the service will be
available in 50 Indian cities by the end of this year.
