Launch a Data Center Policy, parks and Gujarat’s first submarine cable
Bharatiya Janata Party · Gujarat Legislative Assembly Election 2022
Last updated 12 Oct 2026
What does this status mean?
Meaningful delivery has occurred, but the stated commitment is incomplete.
Status describes delivery. Confidence describes how strong the available evidence is.
Original manifesto wording
“We will make Gujarat an information gateway to India by coming up with a comprehensive Data Center Policy and providing incentives to global cloud service providers for setting up their Data Center Parks in Gujarat. We will also work towards getting Gujarat’s first submarine landing cable.”
Our Assessment
Gujarat issued its Viksit Gujarat Data Center Policy 2026–29 on 7 August 2026. A government expression of interest also sought prospective operators for cable landing stations in Gujarat. These establish the policy component and active procurement outreach, but a government data-centre policy is not proof that global provider parks are operating or a first submarine cable has landed. Those delivery components remain unverified.
The reasoning behind the verdict
Why this assessment?
Reviewed
01 · Delivery status
Why partially done?
The named policy has been issued, fulfilling one major component. Data-centre parks and a live submarine landing cable have not been verified, so the combined pledge is only partially delivered.
02 · Strength of evidence
Why high confidence?
The policy's dated government resolution and official cable-landing EOI are strong evidence of the completed and planning components; operational outputs are still absent.
What would help us reassess?
The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.
- Commissioned data-centre parks and operating global cloud tenants under the policy
- Landing-station contract, cable system name, ready-for-service date and live capacity
Status describes delivery. Confidence describes the evidence.
