, secretary,
Ministry of Electronics and IT
(
MeitY
).
Krishnan added that the event is significant as a homegrown company has launched a local cloud service, which will be available for government, public, and private sector organisations. 'We can use a lot of this facility to further build the digital journey that India has embarked upon,' Krishnan added.
As per the top MeitY official, the share of the digital economy in India's overall economy is expected to climb from 6-7% currently to 20% by 2030. 'When we reach that level, it is important that we are equipped in every way to handle all the opportunities that it brings to us,' Krishnan said.
Girish Ramachandran, president (growth markets), TCS, said, 'India is at an inflection point where data sovereignty, AI, and digital acceleration are converging to create unprecedented opportunities. These new offerings, tailored to India's unique needs, reaffirm our commitment to building a secure, AI-powered digital foundation for India.'
The SovereignSecure Cloud is an indigenous and secure cloud built and managed entirely by TCS. It comes with integrated AI capabilities to support government institutions, public sector enterprises, and regulated industries. The solution keeps sensitive data within India's borders, leveraging TCS data centres in Mumbai and Hyderabad.
Complementing
TCS SovereignSecure Cloud
is TCS DigiBOLT, a comprehensive low-code platform coupled with AI that empowers enterprises to accelerate and scale their end-to-end digital innovation journeys. It provides all the necessary accelerators to model, automate, and optimise digital processes at scale, fuelling faster application implementation, AI adoption, and enterprise agility.
Security is the cornerstone of this initiative, and TCS is introducing its Cyber Defense Suite, a security-as-a-service platform, in India, thereby strengthening the cybersecurity framework of enterprises with advanced AI-driven protection.

India-US trade deal: Donald Trump administration may cut tariff to below 20%; putting India in favourable position against other countries
This is an AI image. United States is working toward an interim trade agreement with India that could reduce proposed tariffs to below 20%, giving the country a more favorable position compared to other countries in the region. Unlike many nations, India is not expected to receive a formal tariff hike notice this week, and the agreement may be announced through an official statement, Bloomberg reported, quoting sources. The proposed interim trade deal between the two nations would allow both the sides to continue negotiations, giving India time to address unresolved issues before a broader agreement expected later this year, the source added. India, US near trade deal. What happens next if New Delhi joins Trump's shortlist? The planned agreement is likely to set a baseline tariff of under 20%, down from the 26% initially proposed, with provisions to allow further adjustments as part of a final pact. However, the exact timeline for the interim deal remains uncertain. If finalised, India would likely join a select group of nations that have reached trade arrangements with the Trump administration. In contrast, several other countries were hit with surprise tariff hikes of up to 50% this week, ahead of the August 1 deadline. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 기미, 레이저말고 이렇게 해보세요 에스테틱최원장 Undo India is pushing for a more favourable deal than the one signed with Vietnam, which included 20% tariffs. Vietnam, caught off guard by the high rate, is now seeking a revision. So far, only the UK has officially signed trade deals with the Trump administration. Earlier on Thursday, Trump told NBC News that he is considering imposing blanket tariffs of 15% to 20% on most trading partners who haven't yet received specific rates. Currently, the baseline tariff for most US trade partners stands at 10%. For Asian countries, announced rates so far include 20% for Vietnam and the Philippines, and as high as 40% for Laos and Myanmar. Despite being among the earliest to initiate trade discussions this year, India-US relations have shown recent tensions. While Trump indicates an imminent agreement, he has also suggested additional tariffs regarding India's BRICS membership. An Indian negotiation team is expected to visit Washington soon to push forward trade talks. India has already made its final offer to the Trump administration and outlined its non-negotiable positions. The key sticking points remain, including the US demand for India to allow genetically modified (GM) crops, something New Delhi has firmly opposed, citing concerns for farmers, while the other unresolved issues include agricultural non-tariff barriers and regulatory hurdles in the pharmaceutical sector, the source added.

India can deliver 52 GW RTC clean power by 2030, save ₹9,000 crore annually: Report
New Delhi: India can deliver 52 gigawatts (GW) of round-the-clock (RTC) clean electricity by 2030 at a lower cost compared to annually matched clean energy, according to a new analysis by climate think tank TransitionZero. The 52 GW capacity would account for 70 per cent of a hypothetical RTC electricity portfolio designed to meet five per cent of India's national electricity demand. This shift to RTC procurement could result in annual savings of USD 1 billion (approximately ₹9,000 crore) for grid operators by 2030 due to avoided overbuild of generation capacity. According to the report, carbon emissions could be reduced by 2.4 per cent at the system level, with the cost of carbon abatement three times lower than annual matching of clean energy. At full 100 per cent RTC matching, India-wide emissions could be reduced by seven per cent compared to annual matching. RTC clean electricity, or 24/7 carbon-free energy (CFE), matches every hour of electricity consumption with supply from clean sources. The report noted that unlike annual renewable energy certificates, RTC ensures clean power is available consistently across all hours. This is particularly relevant for sectors like heavy industry and data centres, where electricity demand is continuous. 'Our model shows that in India commercial and industrial customers can meet 70 per cent of their hourly electricity demand with carbon-free electricity at a cost below that of annual renewable energy matching, while driving greater levels of decarbonisation and providing significant benefits to the Indian electricity system,' said Irfan Mohamed, South Asia Analyst at TransitionZero. The report highlighted that incentivising RTC electricity procurement is critical for least-cost grid planning. It noted that India can avoid issues being experienced in Europe, where excess solar capacity has contributed to a decline in power purchase agreement (PPA) capture rates, particularly in Spain. 'Round-the-clock clean electricity planning and procurement is a 'no regrets' option for India's energy planners, grid operators, and large corporations,' said Matt Gray, Co-founder and CEO at TransitionZero. 'It shows that companies can procure hourly-matched clean electricity at minimal extra cost, and grid operators can save money through least-cost grid planning. In doing so, governments can help deliver the energy transition at the lowest cost.' The findings come as the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHGP) undergoes a multi-year revision, with updates to Scope 2 guidance being considered. Hourly emissions accounting is emerging as a preferred method, though the GHGP does not set targets or rank performance levels.

India's GDP growth intact amid global uncertainty
New Delhi: India's economic growth remains on track amid global uncertainties, with an improvement in high frequency indicators for both services and manufacturing, and consumption picking up momentum during Q1/FY26 versus Q4 of FY25, according to a Bank of Baroda (BoB) report released on Friday. High frequency data available for the first quarter (Q1) so far shows that consumption demand appears to be improving compared with the last quarter. This is reflective in the rise in steel consumption growth, increase in electronic imports, and higher central government revenue spending, theBoB report states. Services indicators are also showing a pickup in activity, as can be seen in case of services PMI, vehicle registrations, diesel consumption, revenue collection of states and e-way bill generations. However, some strains can be seen in performance of 2-wheeler sales, and moderation in consumer durables and FMCG output. However, domestic inflation remains in favour, which hints at softer monetary policy which would spur growth, the report adds. It also highlights that monsoon activity is healthy at 15 per cent above long period average so far (as of July 9) which is expected to give a fillip to the agricultural sector. The Central government finances are on a solid footing with the fiscal deficit ratio eased to 4.5 per cent as of May 2025 from 4.6 per cent as of April 2025, the report observes. The report is also positive on the outlook for the rupee. It stated that the rupee depreciated marginally by 0.2 per cent in June after depreciating by 1.3 per cent in May. Easing geo-political tensions and a weaker dollar, led to range-bound trading in the domestic currency in the later part of the month. 'In July, the rupee is trading with an appreciating bias despite lingering concerns over US tariff policies. We expect this trend to continue. Investors remain hopeful of the successful completion of India-US trade deal before the August 1 deadline, which will lend further support to the rupee, the report said.
