The Uttar Pradesh government announced plans to develop a 1,000‑acre data centre and technology park in the Bundelkhand region, aiming to boost digital infrastructure and attract IT investment.
The Uttar Pradesh administration disclosed a proposal to set up a sprawling 1,000‑acre data centre and information‑technology hub in the Bundelkhand region. The initiative is part of the state’s broader strategy to expand digital infrastructure and position Uttar Pradesh as a technology destination.
Officials said the site will accommodate large‑scale data storage facilities, cloud services and ancillary IT enterprises. By clustering these services, the government expects to create a conducive ecosystem for both domestic and foreign tech firms.
The project is slated to be executed through a public‑private partnership model, with the state seeking investment from leading technology players. While detailed timelines were not disclosed, authorities indicated that the development will proceed in phases, with the first phase focusing on core data‑center infrastructure.
State officials anticipate that the hub will generate significant employment opportunities and stimulate ancillary industries in the historically under‑developed Bundelkhand area, thereby contributing to regional economic growth.
