The Karnataka government has announced plans to develop large-scale Data Parks with a cumulative capacity of 1,000 MW, backed by major investments in energy, digital infrastructure, and industrial ecosystems. The initiative aims to position Karnataka as one of India’s leading destinations for hyperscale data centers and AI-driven digital infrastructure development.
The proposed data park ecosystem will support cloud computing, AI workloads, enterprise data storage, fintech platforms, and next-generation digital services. To enable the expansion, the state plans to strengthen renewable energy integration, power transmission networks, water supply systems, and high-speed connectivity infrastructure across key industrial corridors.
The initiative aligns with rising demand for data localization, AI infrastructure, and digital transformation across sectors including banking, telecom, e-commerce, manufacturing, and government services. Karnataka’s strong technology ecosystem, talent pool, and established IT industry are expected to accelerate investments from global hyperscalers and data center operators.
The move reinforces India’s emergence as a strategic digital infrastructure hub as enterprises increasingly invest in AI, cloud platforms, semiconductor ecosystems, and large-scale computing capacity.
