RBI Builds Secured Data Centre Away From Potential Enemy Strikes, Seismic Risk

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has established a new greenfield data centre in Bhubaneswar, strategically located to minimize risks from potential enemy threats and seismic activities. This state-of-the-art facility will support the central bank’s critical operations, including currency management, payment and settlement systems, and regulatory data handling. The decision to build this centre reflects RBI's commitment to enhancing its infrastructure resilience and ensuring the security of its data operations. By positioning the data centre in a region less prone to natural disasters and geopolitical tensions, the RBI aims to safeguard the integrity of its financial systems. This initiative is part of a broader effort to modernize the bank's technological framework and improve service delivery across the nation, ultimately contributing to a more robust financial ecosystem in India.
