The Uttar Pradesh government has detailed a plan to develop a 1,000‑acre data‑centre hub in the Bundelkhand region, outlining land allocation and a package of incentives to attract investors.
The state government of Uttar Pradesh unveiled a comprehensive proposal to set up a 1,000‑acre data‑centre hub in the Bundelkhand region. The initiative aims to position the state as a major digital infrastructure destination and to meet the growing demand for high‑capacity data facilities.
The hub will be situated on a contiguous parcel of land spanning 1,000 acres, selected for its proximity to existing power and connectivity networks. Officials said the location offers strategic advantages for latency‑sensitive services and aligns with broader regional development goals.
To lure national and international operators, the plan includes a suite of investment incentives such as tax holidays, reduced land lease rates, and expedited clearances for required permits. The government also indicated that financial subsidies could be extended for power infrastructure and renewable‑energy integration.
State authorities expect the project to generate significant employment, boost ancillary industries, and contribute to Uttar Pradesh’s digital economy. Detailed implementation timelines will be released after the finalization of land acquisition and incentive frameworks.
