New Delhi: The Delhi government will work to set up over 200 Global Capability Centres (GCCs) and train up to six lakh young people in digital skills, while aiming to digitise all notified government services and strengthen technology-driven governance, officials said on Tuesday.
The Information Technology (IT) Department of the Union Territory government has prepared a draft IT policy for 2026-2031, which will come into force after necessary approvals. According to the draft, two dedicated Innovation and Technology Districts will be established, with South Delhi, Dwarka, and East Delhi identified as priority areas.
These districts will serve as well-equipped hubs providing office space, labs, co-working facilities and other infrastructure for tech companies and start-ups. Officials said the target is to develop at least one tech district during the five-year policy period.
A Delhi State Data Centre is also proposed to become operational by 2027, alongside a round-the-clock cybersecurity monitoring centre. AI and predictive analytics would be used in areas such as traffic management, pollution monitoring, public health forecasting and fraud detection.
