Where the Pinakin HPFC pays off,state by state.

Twelve States now run a dedicated Data Centre Policy. Each one leans on a different power mechanism — renewable-share thresholds, diesel-backup subsidies, grid-queue limits. Here's where a firm, always-on power block changes the outcome.

• Continuous, zero-emission output — no daylight or wind dependency

• Behind-the-meter — adds capacity without waiting on the grid

• Displaces diesel backup and its fuel/emissions exposure

Tamil Nadu

TNDCP 2021 — expires Apr 2026, renewal pending

State policy benefits

• District-wise stamp duty concessions on land

• Land cost subsidy in designated DC parks

• Capital investment subsidy

• Subsidised backup-generator fuel

Pinakin HPFC advantage

Replaces subsidised diesel backup with continuous, always-on power.

• Single-window clearance

• Essential Services status

Pinakin HPFC advantage

Removes dependence on the NCR corridor's constrained grid-connection queue.

Maharashtra

IT/ITeS Policy 2023

State policy benefits

• Simplified approvals process

• Infrastructure-development support

• Incentives for renewable-energy adoption

Adds capacity in India's most power- and land-constrained data centre market, with no new land or grid wait time.

Madhya Pradesh

DC Investment Policy 2023

• Digital Centre Economic Zone status under discussion

• State commitment to 100% renewable hyperscale campuses

Pinakin HPFC advantage

Makes the State's '100% renewable, 24×7' hyperscale commitment achievable in practice, not just on paper.

All other States and UTs — no dedicated Data Centre Policy identified as of July 2026; the general industrial and renewable-energy incentive framework applies instead. There, the Pinakin HPFC's advantage is set by site-level grid reliability rather than a specific policy mechanism.
