Pre- Budget Expectation – Data Centre Hub, 5G, Cyber security Protection

Sanjay Lodha , Co-Founder at Netweb Technologies

A-    CHANGES TO BE EXPECTED IN THE TECH SECTOR FOR BUDGET 2023

Electronics Import is second to Oil and Gas as far as the top two Import heads India tackles. Consumption of electronics is increasing and growing at a nearly exponential rate. We anticipate that the Budget for 2023 will need to further expedite the Government’s efforts to solve this issue, which it had attempted to do in a previous budget.
In order to prevent unfair trading practices in the Indian market, we would also anticipate that there should be a fair market for domestic tech companies when it comes to government tenders. The Indian government’s Atma Nirbhar project and local consumption in India could both benefit from this.

Importantly, the government should invest extensively in R&D to develop India as a technology hub or fund tech firms to assist the industry as a whole.

From the perspective of customs, it is anticipated that charges for imported tech components like chips would be rationalized and exemption notices will be cleaned up similarly to last year.

B – PREDICTIONS TOWARDS THE INITIATIVES OF 5G BY THE GOVERNMENT

Although the government has some forward-looking policy framework for Private 5G, we will need to keep this Policy framework as simple and well-defined as possible to allow the industry to adopt 5G much more quickly. The government is actively striving to provide water and power to every home, therefore it’s time to deploy 5G and Fiber over air to connect even the most remote villages, and eventually every home, with a dependable and high-quality broadband.

C- FORECASTING INCENTIVES UNDER THE PLI SCHEME

 
 To ensure that ongoing activity can be maintained, the government has already committed a sizable sum to PLI and distributed it over a few years. But one method to speed up the segment may be to continually evaluate and reward the performer.
D- ANTICIPATION OF THE GOVT TOWARDS THE ENHANCEMENT OF CYBER SECURITY

Cyber security is a complex subject that requires multiple layers of discussion. In my opinion, the fundamentals include networking switches, which are an integral aspect of any network. A Make in India product in this market will benefit and protect us from the perspective of cyber security. It is believed that it is one crucial area on which they should concentrate in order to avoid losing sight of it in favor of other cyber security concerns.

E – Tax breaks and subsidies in the budget 2023 accelerating the establishment of Data centers Hub in India

The growth statistics are unparalleled, and India in particular is emerging as one of the major sources of world data. From here, everything will develop; perhaps this is simply the start of something new. India must consider localizing such data, hence the expansion of data centres is essential.
India must meet international standards in order to become a hub for data centres. Data centres require greater support and assistance in obtaining dependable, affordable power and connectivity that complies with international standards.
