New Delhi, October 13

The government has accorded infrastructure status to data centers with over 5 MW capacity of IT load, according to a recent notification.

The move helps data centre companies to get easier access to institutional credit at lower rates and attract foreign investments.

“Data Centre is included in the Harmonised Master List of Infrastructure sub-sectors by insertion of a new item in the category of ‘Communication’,” it said. The capacity of data centres is measured in terms of power they consume which reflects on the scale of the server they are hosting in their facilities.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
