Significant controls and exemptions to the government under the proposed Digital Personal Data Protection bill 2022 are likely to make it harder for companies to invest in data centres and data processing activities in India, according to global technology industry body ITI.

ITI represents global technology majors such Google, Microsoft, Meta, Twitter, Apple etc. The draft DPDP has exempted government-notified data fiduciaries from several ...

Data centres have received investments of USD 10 billion (about Rs 81,247 crore) since 2020 as demand for such facilities has risen amid sharp growth in data consumption, according to property consultant Colliers India.
