LUCKNOW. Uttar Pradesh is set to witness major strides in innovation and infrastructure with the announcement of a Biotechnology Industrial Park in Lucknow and the upcoming Startup Conclave planned post-Independence Day, positioning the state as a key hub for innovation and entrepreneurship. These initiatives signal the government’s intent to boost biotech-led development, foster startups, and attract investment in high-growth sectors.
In a significant development, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Union Science & Technology Minister laid the foundation stone for a state-of-the-art Green Data Centre at Sahibabad, Ghaziabad — a joint venture between Central Electronics Limited (CEL), a Government of India PSU, and ESDS. With a capacity of 30 MW and an investment of around ₹1,000 crore, the data center is designed with a strong focus on energy efficiency and sustainability. It will feature Tier III-compliant infrastructure, accommodate 200 high-density racks per floor, and offer 40 Gbps fibre connectivity with disaster recovery capabilities. Environmentally responsible features such as rainwater harvesting, reflective roofing, and smart cooling systems further underline its green credentials, while the facility is expected to generate skilled employment and attract tech-driven enterprises.
