The news doing around lately is that the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) may come up with a national policy framework for establishing data centres across the country soon. The reports suggest that states will be free to either follow in total or mould it according to their needs.
The new data centre policy framework may include the following instructions:
Officials believe that once the power cost is managed, it will reduce the cost of running and managing data centres. Eventually, more players will be attracted to the system. Further making single-window clearance will give the establishment of data centres a major boost.
Other measures of cost-cutting may include relief in the form of lower levies to electronic components used for data centres or keep suitable guidelines to favour domestic ancillary industries.
