PM Modi inaugurates RBI's Rs 169-crore data centre, cybersecurity institute in Odisha

Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Reserve Bank of India's Rs 169-crore data centre and Cybersecurity Training Institute in Bhubaneswar, Odisha. The facility, spanning 18.55 acres at Info Valley-II in Jatni, was laid with a foundation stone by RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das in March 2023. The data centre will host mission-critical payment and settlement systems, while the Cybersecurity Training Institute aims to enhance capability building and provide a dedicated platform for cybersecurity and enterprise-technology training, research, and sector-wide capability development.

The site was chosen for its geographical stability, away from seismically active zones and high-risk international border areas. Odisha's Chief Minister, Brajmohan Ram, hailed the data centre as a significant addition to the state's development journey.
