ROI on Vertically Integrated Global Data Centre Zone
Powering India’s Digital Future with AI-Driven Cloud Computing & Hyperscale Data Infrastructure
ROI on Vertically Integrated Global Data Centre Zone
The Global Data Centre Zone at Semicon City is designed to position India as a global leader in hyperscale data infrastructure, cloud computing, AI-driven data processing, and next-generation enterprise storage solutions.
With India’s data consumption growing at 25% annually, the country requires state-of-the-art data centers, AI-driven cloud solutions, and high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure. Currently, over 70% of India’s enterprise cloud and AI data processing is hosted on foreign-owned cloud platforms, making the country heavily dependent on external infrastructure providers.
By vertically integrating hyperscale data centers, AI-powered cloud solutions, and secure enterprise data storage, this SEZ will reduce dependency on foreign cloud providers, enhance data security, and position India as a regional hub for AI-driven cloud computing.
