Powering the Future: Viksit Gujarat Data Center Policy 2026–2029

The launch of the Viksit Gujarat Data Center Policy is a monumental milestone that underscores Gujarat's progressive vision and unwavering commitment to economic growth. By aiming to build an ambitious 7.5 GW data center capacity, the Government of Gujarat is laying down a world-class foundation for robust IT infrastructure.

As the Hon. Director General of KCCI and Chairman of Yudiz Solutions, I firmly believe this policy will act as a massive catalyst for local industries. The emphasis on establishing a Global Hub for Hyperscale Green AI Data Centers uniquely balances state-of-the-art innovation with sustainable technology leadership. Empowering Gujarat's businesses with secure, resilient, and cutting-edge data architecture will drastically accelerate digital transformation across sectors.

KCCI proudly welcome this forward-looking framework, which positions Gujarat as well as an unstoppable force in India's next-gen digital economy!
