The Uttar Pradesh government has acquired 810 acres of land in the Bundelkhand region to develop a data centre and an IT hub, aiming to boost the state's digital infrastructure.
The state administration announced that 810 acres of land in the Bundelkhand region have been purchased for a large‑scale data centre and an adjoining IT hub. The acquisition was carried out under the state’s initiative to expand digital infrastructure and attract technology investments. Officials said the site will host high‑capacity servers and provide co‑working spaces for tech firms.
The project is expected to generate significant employment opportunities and stimulate ancillary services in the region. By establishing a modern data centre, Uttar Pradesh aims to reduce reliance on distant facilities and improve data latency for businesses and government services.
While detailed timelines have not been released, the government has indicated that construction could begin later this year, subject to regulatory clearances and funding arrangements. Stakeholders are being consulted to ensure the hub aligns with the state’s broader digital transformation goals.
