The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) is likely to come out with a national policy framework for establishing data centres across the country.
Among the major policy introductions in the new data centre policy framework, the MeitY is likely to push for usage of renewable energy such as solar energy for day-to-day operations of the building which will house the data disks.
Apart from this, the MeitY is also likely to suggest that data centres be considered a part of urban or semi-urban infrastructure so that real estate players can consider investments in the sector.
