Data centre industry stakeholders pushed for adequate power availability, regulatory measures, and streamlined single-window approvals in a meeting with Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal on September 1, an official release said on Wednesday.
The roundtable brought together representatives from the Central and State Governments, CEOs and senior representatives of global hyperscalers, data centre developers and operators, investors, infrastructure providers and other key stakeholders.
The Commerce and Industry Ministry said that stakeholders discussed measures to ensure adequate and reliable power availability, including cluster-based transmission and substation planning, Day-1 sanctioned load, dual power feeders and facilitation of renewable energy procurement across State boundaries.
The need for DC-ready land banks and pre-identified power-ready parcels was also highlighted.
"The roundtable also reviewed regulatory measures aimed at reducing project timelines and improving investment certainty, including streamlined single-window approvals and appropriate building regulations for data centres," it said.
