RAIPUR: Chhattisgarh chief minister Vishnu Deo Sai on Saturday laid the foundation stone for the state’s first Artificial Intelligence-based Data Centre Park in Nava Raipur.
Spread over 13.5 acres, its highlight is a 2.7-hectare Special Economic Zone (SEZ) tailored for AI-based services – a first-of-its-kind initiative in the country, said an official. An estimated investment of Rs 1,000 crore has been proposed over the next two years.
“This is not just a data centre, it’s the digital backbone for a new era of growth and empowerment,” said CM Sai, calling the project “transformational” for the youth, farmers, and tribal communities of the state. “Chhattisgarh is ready to become the heartbeat of Digital India,” Sai said.
