With STT GDC India’s datacentre, broking firm SBICAP Securities has ensured a 100 percent uptime along with a secure and scalable option to store critical data. Availing services from a professional data centre service provider like STT GDC India provide organizations like SBICAP Securities with high uptime for their critical IT infrastructure. Leaving the task of managing the critical infrastructure to the experts allowed the customers to focus on their core businesses.

India’s data centre industry is expected to attract investments worth Rs 70,000-Rs 72,000 crore over the next five to 10 years, driven by large corporate groups and Cloud services providers, according to an estimate by ratings agency Ind-Ra.

Infrastructure status would allow data centre service providers easy and increased access to credit from national and international lenders and financing for longer tenure at competitive terms.

Data centres and energy storage systems including dense charging infrastructure and grid-scale battery systems will be included in the harmonized list of infrastructure.

The 2022 Union Budget reflects the Government’s commitment to digitalisation as an integral instrument of growth and inclusion in the country as well as to help India further cement our leadership position on the global technology services map. More specifically, the attribution of “infrastructure status” to the Data Centres is indeed a welcome move.
