Last 11 years of energy sector demonstrates bold vision making India preferred destination for data centres: Piyush Goyal

New Delhi, Dec 15 (UNI) union Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal on Monday said that the last 11 years of India’s energy sector journey demonstrate how bold vision, honest intent and relentless execution can transform the destiny of a nation.
While addressing a press conference on energy sector, Minister Goyal said India is a preferred destination for data centres as the country has no dearth of electricity and its 500GW national grid can take care of surge in demand.
Calling the 500GW grid as one of the largest in the world, Goyal said, "Europe does not have a national grid. Even the US does not have a national grid. But India has a national grid. So we are a preferred destination for data centres and as they are planning a growth in the years to come. There will be sufficient power available to make sure that we meet the need of our people, farmers, industry and commercial establishments including data centres and GCCs.”
