Gujarat is set to unveil its first Data Centre Policy for the period 2026-29, a strategic initiative designed to attract hyperscale data centres, cloud infrastructure providers, and AI-driven digital services.
Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel will launch the framework, which seeks to position the western Indian state as a competitive hub for global technology capital.
The policy arrives as Indian states intensify competition for foreign direct investment in digital infrastructure.
Gujarat’s move follows closely on the heels of Uttar Pradesh, which approved its own Data Center Policy 2026 earlier this week.
That decision signaled a broader national push to build out the physical backbone required for the country’s expanding artificial intelligence and cloud computing sectors.
For investors, the policy represents a concrete step toward reducing regulatory friction and improving the investment climate for large-scale tech projects.
