CII Unveils Model State Policy to Expand Global Capability Centres Beyond India’s Metros

CII reports state interest, with regional workshops planned to guide localization.

Overview

  • The framework directs states to create dedicated facilitation cells and single-window clearances alongside sharper fiscal incentives to accelerate GCC expansion.
  • States are urged to invest in digital infrastructure such as high-performance computing clusters and data centres supported by strong data-security frameworks.
  • The guidance emphasizes integrated urban planning across housing, transport and civic amenities, plus green infrastructure and city-level branding to attract talent.
  • CII notes that about 95% of more than 1,800 GCCs are concentrated in six tier-1 cities and presses for growth in tier-2 and tier-3 locations.
  • The blueprint targets millions of high-quality jobs and estimates nearly USD 200 billion in direct value by 2030 if states implement the recommendations effectively.
