UPC Volt ने 22 जनवरी, 2026 को डावोस में विश्व आर्थिक मंच (World Economic Forum) में तेलंगाना सरकार के साथ एक समझौता ज्ञापन (MoU) पर हस्ताक्षर किए। यह संयुक्त उद्यम, जिसमें नीदरलैंड स्थित UPC Renewables Group और VOLT Data Centers शामिल हैं, तेलंगाना के भारत फ्यूचर सिटी में एक 100 MW AI-रेडी डेटा सेंटर स्थापित करने के लिए पांच वर्षों में ₹5,000 करोड़ का निवेश करेगा [2, 10, 11, 13, 15, 27]। इस परियोजना से निर्माण चरण के दौरान 3,000 से अधिक प्रत्यक्ष और अप्रत्यक्ष नौकरियां और संचालन के दौरान 800 से अधिक नौकरियां पैदा होने की उम्मीद है [2, 10, 11, 13, 15, 27]। यह पहल राज्य के 'तेलंगाना राइजिंग 2047' दृष्टिकोण के अनुरूप है, जिसका लक्ष्य तेलंगाना को भारत का अग्रणी AI डेटा सेंटर हब बनाना है [2, 10, 11, 12, 13, 16, 27]।
सतत कंप्यूटिंग के लिए स्थायी ऊर्जा
A key feature of the UPC Volt project is its commitment to powering the data centre with a dedicated 100 MW round-the-clock renewable energy facility. This ensures the digital infrastructure will operate on carbon-free energy, supporting the state's net-zero development objectives [2, 10, 11, 13, 27]. The facility will be integrated with Telangana's Green Open Access framework, promoting a sustainable, 'power-first' operational model essential for hyperscale and AI workloads [2, 10, 11, 13, 27]. Telangana's proactive approach includes positioning itself to attract next-generation compute infrastructure by offering incentives for high-density GPUs, large-scale training compute, and advanced liquid cooling technologies [2, 11, 16, 27]. The state also has established policies such as the Telangana AI Framework and Data Analytics Policy to foster innovation and infrastructure development in these areas [22].
रणनीतिक विजन और आर्थिक लक्ष्य
The investment underscores Telangana's ambition to achieve a $3 trillion economy by 2047, driven by high-calibre digital infrastructure [2, 8, 10, 11, 12, 27]. Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy highlighted the importance of this development for building robust digital infrastructure while adhering to net-zero development roadmaps [2, 8, 10, 11, 27]. Minister for IT and Industries, D. Sridhar Babu, who was instrumental in securing the investment, emphasized Telangana's aggressive push to become a global AI data centre hub [2, 11, 16, 27]. The state is structuring its economic growth through three distinct zones dedicated to the service sector, manufacturing, and agriculture, aligning with its broader 'Telangana Rising 2047' roadmap [2, 11, 27].
