A Data Centre Policy is being developed to regulate sites and address environmental concerns. The policy will cover aspects such as water consumption, noise pollution, and heat generation. This initiative is a result of collaboration between the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board and the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay.

The need for regulation has been highlighted by protests against a proposed data centre facility. Residents have expressed concerns over noise pollution, heat generation, and resource diversion.

Further details on the policy, including its expected finalisation timeline, are available from the source.
