In yet another milestone in Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s plan for state’s development, he approved a high-profile Data Center, with an investment of more than ` 600 crore. Hiranandani Group of Mumbai will build this data center spread over 20 acres in Greater Noida.

A Government spokesman said here on Saturday that the project will generate employment opportunities for youth  in the state.

It will be the first of its kind data center park equipped with state-of-the-art technology and facilities. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has also made arrangements for the land by giving instructions to officials. The Hiranandani Group, Mumbai’s real estate developer, has now moved to UP after building such data centers in Mumbai, Chennai and Hyderabad. Many other companies have also shown interest in the data center. After the creation of the data center, companies operating in other states will also be connected to UP.

Rack Bank, Adani Group and other companies have proposed an investment of ` 10,000 crore to the UP government. Since, power consumption for the data centers is high, the Yogi government has prepared a plan for this too. As per the secured plan, open access will provide power to the data center park.

“After creation of a data center park, we will be able to keep our data safe in our country,” the spokesman claimed. On the initiative of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, work has been done on the plan to build such data centers across the country for some time. Seeing the vast potential in the data center sector, the Yogi government is also formulating a separate policy for this. The proposal of companies showing interest in large investment in the data center sector are considered as a big industrial success of the Yogi Adityanath Government.
