Ministry of Electronics and IT has drafted a Data Centre policy to benefit the Data Centre park developers/Data Centre operators as well as the allied ecosystem of the Data Centre sector. The policy envisages making India a Global Data Centre hub, promote investment in the sector, propel digital economy growth, enable provisioning of trusted hosting infrastructure to fulfill the growing demand of the country and facilitate state of the art service delivery to citizens. This document lays out a policy framework including various structural / regulatory interventions, investment promotion in the sector, possible Incentivization mechanisms along with the institutional mechanism required for the governance. The policy framework also seeks to strengthen the recently announced “AatmaNirbhar Bharat” initiative by identifying possible opportunities of manufacturing of Data Centre equipment (IT as well as non-IT) in the country. It also identifies possible areas of participation by MSMEs and Start-ups.

The policy intends to ensure sustainable and trusted Data Centre capacity within the country. This policy framework shall be followed by a detailed scheme with implementation guideline document providing the particulars of various fiscal and non-fiscal incentives to be provided to the sector by the Central and State Government.

For the same, Ministry of Electronics and IT invites citizen suggestions on the Draft Data Center Policy 2020.

I am a senior citizen. Govt. is giving benefit to all sectors except senior citizen. We are totally depending on interest coming from bank but bank interest rates are reduced. Earlier Senior citizen saving scheme was giving 8.6% which has reduced to 7.4 %. On other side mediclaim premiums are going upward every year and we have to pay 18% GST on the premium amount. I request you to abolish GST on mediclaim policy for senior citizen and increase interest rate for senior citizen's diposit.

In place of 5.2.1.5 it should be mandated that the data center either sets up captive solar power generation or procure electricity exclusively from solar power generators through open access.

The datacenter configurations and resources needed for every startup, business are high and often spent very minimal compromising quality, performance and customer offerings. This is single most factor for startups to fail. There is no big use with incubation centers, accelerators instead provide datacenter resources as part of government contribution to businesses and startups. Government spends lot more for research, IT infra and production for its own and does not spend for private companis

Sir, Authenticity of the Data should be checked in multiple ways. Data Centers with bogus information's will never bring any benefit.

The draft states 2 very important aspects that it "intends to ensure sustainable and trusted Data Centre". To ensure that we have sustainable Data Centre, the policy must layout the need for carbon neutrality. Data Centre are known to be energy guzzlers and must use susntainable energy sources as much as possible. The cooling is another aspect where bydesign Data Centre must increase use of susrainable ways to use the heat being generated and reduce the cooling overheads.

We all know that we use electricity and its generate by coal,water,wind . we use more electricity and pay bill. But where who has free electricity they all use most electricity .so this reason that all the resources are in danger from future and its time so all want that you give electricity that minimum only for use not for spoil . example all use two heater in one time (whose not pay bill or take bill) any many more .so you gave them only minimum to minimum and don't spoil data energy. Thanks
