India's data center market is facing growing public anger over water and electricity resource usage, threatening its ambition to become a global data center hub. In response, the Indian government is taking steps to address this issue. On October 14, Jitin Prasada, Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology, announced that India would launch a data center policy aimed at preventing consumers from paying higher electricity bills due to competition with data centers for supply. Last week, Niti Aayog, the Indian government's think tank, also shared a framework to guide local governments in assessing the sustainability of data center projects.
