UP Bets Big on Data Economy

 


Uttar Pradesh has unveiled plans to develop eight large-scale data centre parks across the state, targeting a combined capacity of around 900 megawatts and an investment inflow of nearly ₹30,000 crore. The initiative is part of the state’s push to position itself as a major digital infrastructure hub, leveraging its proximity to the National Capital Region, expanding power availability, and improving connectivity.

The proposed parks are expected to attract global and domestic technology firms, create high-skilled employment, and strengthen India’s rapidly growing data ecosystem. By focusing on scalable infrastructure, reliable power supply, and policy incentives, Uttar Pradesh aims to support the rising demand for cloud services, AI workloads, and data localisation, while accelerating its broader digital and economic transformation.
