Telangana CM wants ATC courses to match emerging requirements of industry
He instructed the officials to ensure setting up of the ATCs in a time bound manner so that they are functional in the specified time. The Chief Minister, along with Labour, Employment Training and Factories Minister Vivek Venkat Swamy, reviewed the progress of the ATCs being developed in line with the Telangana Rising -2047 and status of works with senior officials, in Hyderabad on Monday (July 21, 2025).
Mr. Reddy said he would conduct surprise checks to get first hand information on the progress of works and development of ATCs in the coming days. Officials informed the Chief Minister that it was proposed to develop 111 ATCs in three phases in the State. Accordingly, 25 ATCs were planned to be developed in the first phase, 40 in the second and remaining 46 in the third phase. As many as 49 ATCs became functional in the first and second phases so far and work was progressing briskly in the remaining ATCs.
Mr. Reddy wanted the officials to rope in experienced agencies including reputed construction firms to expeditiously complete the remaining works. Officials concerned should take steps to set up a model ATC in the Genome Valley where necessary training could be imparted to students in Pharma, Biotechnology and Life Sciences sectors. Officials were directed to take steps to allocate land and set up infrastructure for the state-of-the-art technology centre in this direction.

Edge data centre capacity in India likely to triple by 2027, says Icra
India's edge data centre capacity is expected to expand significantly to 200-210 Megawatt (MW) by 2027, up from 60-70 MW in 2024, marking a 3x increase, driven by the proliferation of emerging technologies, said rating agency Icra. Global data centre capacity (including capacity held by cloud operators) is estimated at around 50 Gigawatt (GW) as of December 2024, of which about 10 per cent is edge data centres. The US commands over 44 per cent of worldwide edge data centre capacity, followed by Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region at 32 per cent, and the Asia Pacific (APAC) region at 24 per cent. Edge data centres are smaller, decentralised facilities located closer to end-users and devices. Unlike traditional data centres, which are typically large and centralised, edge data centres enable real-time data processing with minimal latency (the delay between a user action and the corresponding system response). India is a relatively new entrant in the edge data centre market. The current edge data centre capacity as a percentage of total India's data centre capacity stands at around 5 per cent, said Icra. Further, excluding the edge data centre capacity used for captive purposes by one of the large data centre operators, the current edge data centre capacity as a percentage of total capacity is as low as 1 per cent. Anupama Reddy, Vice President and Co-Group Head, Corporate Ratings, Icra, said: 'In the Indian context, traditional data centres and edge data centres are complementary pillars of digital infrastructure. With the expanding cloud ecosystem of India, traditional data centres will continue fueling mass-scale computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and cloud workloads, and edge data centres will facilitate real-time processing and localised services. Traditional and edge data centres are expected to operate in the hub-and-spoke model to enhance efficiencies across sectors such as healthcare, banking, agriculture, defence, and manufacturing.' Despite the promising outlook, some of the key challenges for edge data centres include security vulnerabilities due to remote deployments (mainly in tier II and tier III cities), rapid technological changes that risk obsolescence, a shortage of skilled professionals in remote areas, and interoperability issues with traditional data centres. 'The rentals for edge data centres are anticipated to be on the higher side compared to traditional data centres, as they will be catering primarily to retail customers, compared to enterprise/hyperscale customers for traditional data centres. Moreover, the relatively higher capex cost per MW for edge data centres compared to a traditional data centre is expected to be compensated by higher rentals. Established data centre players and entities like RailTel and telecom operators are likely to lead the edge data centre expansion in India,' Reddy added.

Telangana CM Revanth and his Cabinet colleagues meet Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi
Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka and their Cabinet colleagues met with All India Congress Committee (AICC) president Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi in New Delhi on Thursday (July 24, 2025). Mr. Reddy is scheduled to make a presentation to Congress MPs on the State's caste survey and efforts to provide 42% reservation for Backward Class (BC) communities in education, politics and employment. He earlier said that they will mobilise support from like-minded MPs to mount pressure on the Centre to clear the bill providing the 42% reservation. The State conducted 50-day door-to-door survey to collect details for Socio, Caste, Economic, Employment and Political Survey. The Chief Minister made a statement on the survey results in the Assembly on February 4, 2025.

India's edge data centre capacity projected to triple to 200-210 MW by 2027
New Delhi: India's edge data centre is projected to expand significantly to 200-210 megawatt (MW) by 2027 from 60-70 MW in 2024, marking a three times increase driven by proliferation of emerging technologies, a report said on Thursday. The current edge data centre capacity as a percentage of total India's data centre capacity stands at around 5 per cent, and it is estimated to go up to 8 per cent by 2027, ICRA said in its latest report. Edge data centres are smaller, decentralised facilities located closer to end-users and devices and, unlike traditional data centres, which are typically large and centralised, they enable real-time data processing with minimal latency. 'Edge data centres differ from traditional data centres in multiple parameters like size, location, scale, time taken to construct, capex cost per MW, distance from end user, etc," said Anupama Reddy, Vice President and Co-Group Head, Corporate Ratings, ICRA. In the Indian context, traditional data centres and edge data centres are complementary pillars of digital infrastructure, Reddy added. With the expanding cloud ecosystem in India, traditional data centres will continue to fuel mass-scale computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and cloud workloads, while edge data centres will facilitate real-time processing and localised services. Traditional and edge data centres are expected to operate in a hub-and-spoke model to enhance efficiencies across sectors such as healthcare, banking, agriculture, Defence, and manufacturing. Despite the promising outlook, some of the key challenges for edge data centres in India include security vulnerabilities due to remote deployments (majorly in tier 2 and tier 3 cities), the report stated. Rapid technological changes that risk obsolescence, a shortage of skilled professionals in remote areas, and interoperability issues with traditional data centres. According to the report, the US commands over 44 per cent of worldwide edge data centre capacity, followed by Europe, the Middle East and Africa region at 32 per cent and Asia Pacific (the APAC) region at 24 per cent.
