The Digital Telangana campaign will make the new Indian state into a major data center hub, government officials said at the DCD > Focus On Hyderabad conference, on 26th April at the Westin Mindspace in Hyderabad.

The government’s Digital India campaign aims to encourage digital transformation across the nation, but Telangana’s state-wide campaign will go further, providing broadband to every building and supporting a data center industry with specific exemptions and reimbursements.

Jayesh Ranjan, principal secretary at the Information Technology, Electronics and Communications (ITE&C) department of the government of Telangana, while speaking at the event.
