Ministry of Electronics and IT has drafted a Data Centre policy to benefit the Data Centre park developers/Data Centre operators as well as the allied ecosystem of the Data Centre sector. The policy envisages making India a Global Data Centre hub, promote investment in the sector, propel digital economy growth, enable provisioning of trusted hosting infrastructure to fulfill the growing demand of the country and facilitate state of the art service delivery to citizens. This document lays out a policy framework including various structural / regulatory interventions, investment promotion in the sector, possible Incentivization mechanisms along with the institutional mechanism required for the governance. The policy framework also seeks to strengthen the recently announced “AatmaNirbhar Bharat” initiative by identifying possible opportunities of manufacturing of Data Centre equipment (IT as well as non-IT) in the country. It also identifies possible areas of participation by MSMEs and Start-ups.

The policy intends to ensure sustainable and trusted Data Centre capacity within the country. This policy framework shall be followed by a detailed scheme with implementation guideline document providing the particulars of various fiscal and non-fiscal incentives to be provided to the sector by the Central and State Government.

Some data can be of shared nature. Compulsorizing storage of such data may prove detrimental to new entrants in the market. Hence, only sensitive or important data must be compulsorized via law. For other types of data, regarding even complete deletion of data, platforms should be designed to elect bodies based on proportional representation who should have authority to form the detailed law and partial budget control (say,50%) Considering Indian population, this will allow Indians

Following equipment required for Data Centers ,can certainly be made ( more & more) in India:- 1 UPS systems. 2 Orecision air conditioners 3 Server Racks. This will give further boost to Atmanirbhar Bharat . Other equipment too can be manufactured in India itself but we can get going on abovementioned straightaway .
