Project Overview

The CEL–ESDS Green Data Center is a major proposed sustainable digital infrastructure development located within the Central Electronics Limited (CEL) industrial campus in Sahibabad, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, in the Delhi National Capital Region (NCR), India. Developed through a strategic public-private partnership (PPP) between Central Electronics Limited, a Government of India Mini-Ratna Central Public Sector Enterprise under the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR), Ministry of Science and Technology, and ESDS Software Solution Pvt. Ltd., the project represents an initiative to expand secure, energy-conscious digital infrastructure in northern India. With a reported investment of approximately ₹1,000 crore, equivalent to around US$120 million, the development is intended to support growing demand for government digital services, enterprise cloud computing, data storage, and mission-critical IT workloads. Its location within an established industrial campus offers potential advantages through existing infrastructure, access to the wider Delhi NCR technology ecosystem, and proximity to government institutions and commercial enterprises. The proposed facility is expected to support organisations requiring reliable data hosting, cloud services, and secure management of digital information, while contributing to India’s broader digital transformation objectives. The project’s green data centre focus highlights the importance of energy efficiency, responsible resource use, and operational resilience in modern computing infrastructure. Potential design priorities include efficient cooling systems, optimised power usage, reliable backup infrastructure, and measures to reduce the environmental impact of data centre operations. The partnership combines CEL’s public-sector institutional role with ESDS’s experience in cloud and data centre services, creating a framework for collaboration between government-linked infrastructure and private technology expertise. Once developed and operational, the facility could strengthen regional data hosting capabilities and support the expanding needs of public administration and private industry. The reported investment, project designation, and claim that it is Uttar Pradesh’s first dedicated green government-partnered data centre campus should be verified against official announcements before publication.
