The company has sought 1,000 acres of land for the project, with about 400 acres each proposed for the data centres and the green power complex, Patil said."The remaining 200 acres would be earmarked for safety and environmental buffers, including the proposed separation zone for the hydrogen facility," the statement from the minister's office said.The project is expected to require around 13 million litres per day (MLD) of water, primarily sourced from treated industrial or CETP effluent, the statement said.The company proposes to recycle 80-85 per cent of the water, with limited borewell water serving as a backup, if required, it added.Published on August 25, 2026
