Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) ₹169-crore data centre and Cybersecurity Training Institute near Bhubaneswar, Odisha, on Sunday, October 25, 2026. The facilities are designed to strengthen India's financial technology infrastructure, improve the security of digital transactions and ensure uninterrupted banking operations during cyberattacks or technical disruptions. RBI's ₹169-Crore Data Centre Opens in Bhubaneswar The new facility, located at Info Valley-II in Jatni, covers 18.55 acres and will support the RBI's critical computing requirements. It will host essential payment and settlement systems alongside other major digital banking operations. The infrastructure is designed to improve data security, disaster recovery and operational continuity, reducing the risk of disruptions to India's financial services. The project's foundation stone was laid by former RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das on March 22, 2023. Cybersecurity Training Institute to Strengthen Banking Security The adjoining Cybersecurity Training Institute will provide specialised training, research and capacity-building programmes for banking and financial sector professionals. It will focus on emerging cyber threats, enterprise technology and strengthening institutional preparedness against digital attacks. RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra highlighted the importance of resilient computing infrastructure in maintaining reliable payment systems and financial services. The new facilities are expected to support India's expanding digital economy and improve the banking sector's ability to respond to technological disruptions. Odisha Expands Digital Infrastructure With RBI Project The location was selected partly because of its geographical stability and distance from high-risk seismic and international border zones. Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi welcomed the project, highlighting its contribution to the state's technology development. Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and senior government officials attended the inauguration. The project forms part of broader efforts to strengthen India's financial infrastructure as digital payments and technology-driven banking services continue expanding.
