To invest in the data centre sector, Rack Bank, Adani Group and Earth companies have proposed a huge investment of Rs 10,000 crore to the state government.

A data centre is a large group of computer servers connected to a network. It is used by companies for large amounts of data storage, processing and distribution.

State Minister Siddharth Nath Singh said it will be the most modern and large data centre in North India. In the coming time, such data centres will also be constructed in other parts of the state.
