Backed by investor-friendly policies and digital infrastructure, Rajasthan is accelerating its push to become a national IT and innovation hub.

Rajasthan is positioning itself as a major hub for information technology, innovation, and digital enterprises, backed by investor-friendly policies, improved infrastructure, and a strong focus on ease of doing business, Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma said. 

The state government has introduced dedicated policies for Global Capability Centres (GCCs), data centres, and Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI-ML) to attract technology-led investments and create high-quality employment.

Rajasthan is pushing to become a major hub for information technology, innovation, and digital enterprises with key initiatives like GCCs and Data Centres, AI-ML Policy, Ease of Doing Business, and Infrastructure Development.

The state aims to attract multinational corporations, generate skilled employment, and promote knowledge-based industries through its GCC policy, while the data centre policy is designed to tap into the rising demand for cloud services, digital storage, AI-driven computing, and cybersecurity infrastructure. 

The AI-ML policy reflects Rajasthan’s alignment with India’s broader push toward digital transformation, Industry 4.0, smart governance, and innovation-driven growth, encouraging startups, research institutions, and global tech firms to develop AI-based solutions. To ensure ease of doing business, the state government is strengthening simplified regulatory processes, single-window clearances, and digitised approvals. 

Additionally, Rajasthan is investing in reliable power and water supply, high-speed digital connectivity, industrial parks, and IT zones to support long-term, sustainable industrial and digital growth.

Rajasthan’s IT sector is also witnessing significant growth with the Rajasthan DigiFest TiE Global Summit-2026, expected to bring together over 10,000 participants, 500 investors, and 300 exhibitors. The state has already seen a surge in startups, with over 7,000 IT startups registered, and is home to more than 360 GCCs. 

Furthermore, the Rajasthan Data Centre Policy-2025 is expected to attract approximately Rs 20,000 crore in investments over the next five years, creating new employment opportunities in the IT sector.
