RBI's Bhubaneswar data centre to strengthen digital financial infrastructure
In Bhubaneswar, Modi will inaugurate the RBI's new Data Centre and Cybersecurity Training Institute, aimed at strengthening the technological infrastructure supporting India's financial system.
The data centre has been designed to meet the RBI's computing needs and provide a secure, resilient and scalable environment for the central bank and the wider financial sector. Four state-of-the-art data centres will host critical payment and settlement systems, alongside other major initiatives.
The facility has received Uptime Institute Tier IV certification, a global benchmark for data centre infrastructure and operational resilience. It is among the largest Tier IV-certified facilities in the banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI) sector worldwide.
The new infrastructure is expected to improve the reach, efficiency and reliability of digital financial services. It will also provide a secure technological foundation for India's increasingly digital economy and reinforce the RBI's position in digital infrastructure among central banks.
The accompanying Cybersecurity Training Institute will focus on specialised training, research and capability development in cybersecurity and enterprise technology. Its areas of focus will include emerging technologies relevant to the BFSI sector, such as quantum computing and artificial intelligence, as well as other frontier technologies.
