Technology infrastructure companies that are building digital storage facilities or data centres<\/a> in India<\/a> are petitioning the government to mandate local storage of user data as well as \"reciprocity\" in cross-border data flows, industry executives told ET.

STT
Global Data Centre<\/a> and Yotta Infrastructure<\/a> claimed that ancillary industries such as power, real estate and renewable energy, which are reliant on the growth of the data centre industry, will also be adversely impacted by free cross-border data flow.

In their submissions, these companies asked for Indian users' data to be transferred only to countries that allow their citizens' data to be sent to India. And, that a copy of data stored overseas be also kept in India.

\"Reciprocity of data should be allowed,\" Darshan Hiranandani, chairman of Yotta Infrastructure, told ET.

Earlier this month, at a meeting with the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (Assocham), data centres called for \"Indian users' data to be permitted to go to only those countries where data of citizens of those countries can come to (India) us. Also that (data) should go to (only) those countries where (Indian) consumers or court orders do not have to go through (overseas) courts for enforcement. Third, a copy of the user data going abroad should be kept in India,\" he added.

The latest draft of The
Digital Personal Data Protection Bill<\/a>, 2022 has mooted a concept of \"trusted geographies\" where the government will prescribe a country or territory onto a \"whitelist\", to which personal data may be transferred from India.

Yotta currently operates two data centres in India and plans to deliver about 1,000 MW of capacity by 2030, with a planned investment of over Rs 60,000 crore. The largest data centre chain in the country with a 33% market share - STT Global Data Centre - also said that the jobs and investments in the sector will be severely hurt by the new norms in the draft DPDP Bill.

Another major data centre NTT had recently announced a budget of $2 billion towards India investments till 2024.

Shekhar Sharma, CEO, NTT Global Data Centers & CI and
NTT Communications<\/a>, India said that while the guidelines (draft PDP Bill) seem similar to the European GDPR norms, his company was waiting for more details to be published.

\"Our approach and strategies will be reviewed and carried out in collaboration with all stakeholders and will be aligned with the final guidelines,\" he added, noting that \"there was very strong domestic demand (for data storage) with 5G being rolled out extensively and the sharp increase in cloud adoption and digital transformation of businesses across different verticals.\"

In the past year, several companies like Equinix and ST Telemedia have announced expansion of their data centre capacities in India.

Earlier this month, Digital Edge Singapore, National Investment and Infrastructure Fund and AGP Investco said that they would invest in India, with the first project being a $2 billion data centre in Mumbai - work on which will start in early 2023.

According to IDC, India’s public cloud services (PCS) market totalled $2.8 billion for the first half of 2022 and is expected to reach $13 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 23.1% from 2021-26.

AdaniConneX, a joint venture between Adani Enterprises and EdgeConneX, which announced the opening of a data centre in Chennai in November 2022, did not respond to ET's queries on its position on the data bill.

The Indian
internet<\/a> industry has largely welcomed the government's revised stance on allowing cross-border data flow while doing away with hard data localisation<\/a> mandated in the previous versions of the Data Bill.

However, others such as India’s largest telecommunication companies
Reliance Jio<\/a> and Bharti Airtel as well as digital payments major Paytm<\/a> are opposing the Centre’s move to allow transfer of personal data of Indians to “trusted geographies”.

ET reported on January 6 that these companies are asking for data of Indians to be stored within the country in a stance counter to the larger industry, especially the foreign players.

They have argued that Indian companies would be unwilling to invest in expensive data centres locally if the government allows cross-border data transfers of Indians. “There would be no business case to build state-of-the-art digital storage infrastructure in such a situation and existing investments will also go waste,” a source aware of Jio’s thinking on the matter had told ET.

Airtel too has similar concerns against cross border transfer of data of Indians, according to the sources.

They pointed out that any move by the government to allow cross-border transfers of personal data of Indians could put on hold billions of dollars of potential investments in state-of-the-art data centres and in building India’s digital infrastructure.

The last date for the public consultation on the draft Digital Personal Data Protection Bill, 2022, was January 2.

Equal Opportunity
<\/strong>
Yotta’s Hiranandani, who chairs the data centre council in ASSOCHAM, said there should be a “level-playing field.”

Providers who are storing data in India and complying with Indian law should be considered on par with other players who are catering to Indian users. “The arms of the law should be able to reach other countries as well in terms of users’ data,” he said.

Lalit Khanna, General Counsel of ST Telemedia Global Data Centre, said the government “should promote and incentivise the investment of data centres and allied sectors so that they could further expand to tier 2 and tier 3 cities.”

“We currently supply more than 215 MW IT load via 21 carrier-neutral facilities with carrier-dense interconnections across nine significant locations and hold a total floor area of 3.8 million square feet,” he added.

Pointing out that the 2019 version of the PDP Bill had supported data localisation and that several other countries also supported it, Khanna said that if the Indian government allows cross border data flow, it should “mandate the storage of at least one copy of the entire data in India.”

The “overriding provision of the 2022 Bill can lead to ambiguities and conflicts,” he said.

More so, as the Digital Personal Data Protection Bill when enacted will “supersede any sectoral regulation (and) will influence rules made by entities like the RBI that have a direct bearing on personal data,” he added.

技术构建数字存储设施或基础设施公司数据中心印度是向政府请愿,要求本地存储的用户数据以及“互惠”跨境数据流,业内高管告诉等。

STT全球数据中心Yotta基础设施声称辅助行业,如电力、房地产和可再生能源,这是依赖于数据中心产业的发展,也会受到自由跨境数据流的不利影响。

这些公司在他们的提交,要求印度用户的数据只有转移到国家允许其公民的数据发送到印度。这一份海外存储的数据也保存在印度。

“互惠的数据应该被允许沾光Hiranandani, Yotta基础设施的主席,告诉等。

本月早些时候,在会见印度商会和行业相关的印度联合工商会(),数据中心呼吁“印度用户数据只被允许去那些国家,这些国家的公民的数据可以来我们(印度)。(数据)也应该去(唯一的)那些国家(印度)消费者或法庭命令不需要经历(海外)法院强制执行。第三,用户数据的一个副本出国应该保持在印度,”他补充道。

最新的草案数字个人数据保护法案,2022年提出“可信区域”的概念,政府会规定一个国家或地区在“白名单”,个人数据可能从印度转移。

Yotta目前在印度经营着两个数据中心,并计划到2030年提供1000兆瓦的产能,计划投资60000卢比。全国最大的数据中心连锁以33%的市场份额——STT全球数据中心还表示,就业和投资部门将严重伤害DPDP法案草案的新规范。

另一个主要数据中心NTT最近宣布了一项对印度投资直到2024年预算的20亿美元。

首席执行官Shekhar沙玛,NTT全球数据中心和CINTT通信、印度表示,尽管指南(草案PDP比尔)看起来类似于欧洲GDPR规范,他的公司正等待公布更多细节。

“我们的方法和策略进行回顾和与所有利益相关者合作,将与最后的指导方针,”他补充道,并指出“有非常强劲的国内需求(数据存储)5 g的广泛推出,并大幅增加云计算应用和数字转换的企业在不同垂直。”

在过去的一年里,一些公司Equinix和圣电讯传媒已宣布在印度扩张他们的数据中心的能力。

本月早些时候,数字边缘新加坡国家投资和基础设施基金和AGP Investco表示,他们将投资在印度,第一个项目是一份价值20亿美元的数据中心在孟买——将在2023年初开始的工作。

根据IDC的数据,印度的公共云服务(pc)市场总额为28亿美元,预计2022年上半年到2026年达到130亿美元,增长23.1%的复合年增长率从2021 - 26所示。

AdaniConneX,合资企业阿达尼企业和EdgeConneX宣布开放数据中心在钦奈2022年11月,没有回应等数据的查询位置法案。

印度互联网行业在很大程度上欢迎政府的立场修正允许跨境数据流的同时摆脱困难数据本地化法案规定在以前版本的数据。

然而,其他人如印度最大的电信公司依赖JioBharti Airtel以及数字支付专业Paytm反对搬到中心允许转让个人数据的印第安人“可信区域”。

ET 1月6日报道,这些公司要求数据存储的印度人在美国立场与较大的行业,特别是外籍球员。

他们认为,印度公司会愿意投资于昂贵的本地数据中心,如果政府允许跨境数据传输的印度人。”就没有商业案例建立最先进的数字存储基础设施在这种情况下,现有的投资也会浪费,“知道Jio的来源告诉ET思考这件事。

旅馆也有同样的担忧对跨境传输数据的印度人,根据来源。

他们指出,政府允许跨境转移的任何举动的个人数据的印度人可以搁置数十亿美元的潜在投资最先进的数据中心和印度数字基础设施建设。

最后日期的公众咨询数字个人数据保护法案的草案,2022年1月2日。

平等的机会

Yotta Hiranandani,印度联合工商会数据中心委员会主席说,应该有一个“公平的领域。”

供应商将数据存储在印度和遵守印度法律应考虑与其他球员迎合印度用户。“法律的武器应该能够达到其他国家的用户的数据,”他说。

拉卡纳,圣电讯传媒全球数据中心,总法律顾问表示,政府“应该促进和激励的投资数据中心和盟军的部门,这样他们可能会进一步扩大到二、三线城市。”

“我们目前供应超过215 MW负荷通过21 carrier-neutral设施与carrier-dense互联在显著位置和9个拥有总建筑面积380万平方英尺,”他补充道。

指出PDP法案的2019版支持数据本地化和其他几个国家也支持它,Khanna说,如果印度政府允许跨境数据流,它应该“授权的存储至少在印度整个数据的一个副本。”

的“首要条款2022年法案会导致歧义和冲突,”他说。

更是如此,因为数字个人数据保护法案颁布何时”取代任何监管部门(和)将影响规则由实体像印度储备银行在个人数据有直接关系,”他补充道。
