There will be state-of-the-art computer systems and servers here, which will run AI systems with thinking-like capabilities and big companies of the world will do their digital work from here. The government has given tax and other legal exemptions to this SEZ so that new technologies can be developed rapidly. This is the first time that such an area is being built in India completely focused on AI, due to which Nava Raipur will emerge as the country’s next digital and technological hub. Through this project, a big leap is being considered towards making India a technology leader at the global level.

For the first time, India will not only become a consumer of these services, but will also become a self-reliant manufacturer and host.
