The MoU was signed in the presence of Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami and CtrlS Datacenters Founder & Chairman Sridhar Pinnapureddy.

The corporation announced that the projected greenfield edge data centre would be built within the next eight to ten years, with a 10MW capacity.

“CtrlS’ data center will be embedded into a larger digital ecosystem of the state, enabling the growth of data, infrastructure, and technology-driven businesses around our facility.

The proposed Rated-4 data center in Uttarakhand will offer colocation, managed services, and cloud services to host mission-critical workloads.
