UP government to auction land for data centres near Jewar airport
Jewar airport.
These plots are part of a 100-acre data centre park planned by the state government-run Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (Yeida).
The UP government aims to establish three data centre parks where it is expecting investments of Rs 20,000 crore. The one in Jewar is the first of these planned facilities.
“The investment explosion across the Indian data centre market over the past few years has been long overdue.
Of these markets, in the NCR, Noida has proven popular for data centre development. The state government’s push towards the sector is likely to accelerate the sector’s growth,” said Vivek Dahiya, managing director & head of Asia Pacific data centre advisory team at Cushman & Wakefield.
Of the five plots on offer, three are of 20,000 square metres, one of 40,000 square metres and the other of 1,25,660 square metres.
“The Government of India is taking positive steps to protect Indian data and formulating policies on priority to ensure that data remain within the country.
