India is the best data centre hub: Goyal
Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal held a meeting with data centre industry stakeholders on Tuesday to discuss promoting ease of doing business in India. Goyal stated confidently that India is the world's best location for setting up data centres, due to its thriving data centres, semiconductor industries, artificial intelligence, and expanding manufacturing base. He anticipates a massive influx of investments, with the sector expected to see over USD 200 billion in the coming years.
Goyal highlighted the resilience of the Indian people, emphasizing their achievements during challenging times, including two wars and global uncertainty. He rejected Congress criticism of the GDP figures, calling it an insult to the hard-working Indians. The Congress, meanwhile, dismissed the latest GDP numbers as statistical gymnastics and accused the Modi government of continuing its "Fake in India" scheme.
