What's the story

Akash Ambani, the Chairman of Reliance Jio, has pitched strongly for local storage of Indian data.

He made the call while addressing the India Mobile Congress, during the International Telecommunication Union - World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (ITU-WTSA) 2024 event.

Ambani also stressed on the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in realizing India's development goals by 2047, and called on the country to embrace a holistic self-reliance strategy to leverage AI's potential.

Policy update

Ambani's request to Centre

Ambani urged the Indian government to fast-track the revision of the 2020 draft of the Data Centre Policy, stressing that "Indian data should remain in Indian Data Centres."

He also proposed that Indian firms willing to set up AI and machine learning data centers should be given all necessary incentives, including those related to power consumption.

This is part of Jio's larger plan to build a national AI infrastructure.
