UP gears up for data centre revolution with Jewar Airport proximity

04 Oct 2023 CW Team

The Uttar Pradesh government is aiming to generate over Rs 3 billion through the auction of five plots designated for data centres near the upcoming Jewar airport. These plots are part of a larger 100-acre data centre park project overseen by the state government-run Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (Yeida).

The state government of Uttar Pradesh plans to establish three data centre parks, expecting investments totalling Rs 200 billion. The Jewar facility is the inaugural project among these planned centres.

Vivek Dahiya, Managing Director & Head of Asia Pacific Data Centre Advisory Team at Cushman & Wakefield, commented on the overdue growth in the Indian data centre market, especially in Noida, a popular destination for data centre development. He highlighted that the state government's proactive approach is likely to accelerate the sector's expansion.

The auction includes five plots: three of 20,000 square meters, one of 40,000 square meters, and another of 1,25,660 square meters.

Amit Sarin, Managing Director at real estate developer Anant Raj, noted the positive steps taken by the Government of India to safeguard Indian data, emphasising the expected substantial increase in sector investments in the coming years. Data storage needs are projected to exceed 2,000 MW IT load capacity by fiscal year 2025.

In addition to the financial incentives, the UP government highlighted the strategic advantages of the Yeida data centre park's location, including proximity to the upcoming Jewar airport, International Film City, Yamuna Expressway, and Buddha Circuit. Industrial units established in this area will benefit from enhanced connectivity and the planned pod transit system, among other advantages.
