New Delhi, 17th February 2026: Amazon Web Services India Private Limited (AWS India) today announced that it will work with Yotta Data Services to deploy AWS Outposts for the National Informatics Centre’s (NIC) Meghraj 2.0 initiative. This initiative enables government departments to leverage AWS services and generative AI capabilities for data residency and security requirements.
AWS Outposts allows customers with sensitive workloads that are restricted to NIC data centers to leverage AWS’s advanced cloud capabilities including the AWS Nitro System’s advanced security capabilities and AWS managed services such as Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS), and Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3).
This hybrid architecture enables government departments to run sensitive workloads within NIC data centers while accessing the full capabilities of AWS services. With AWS Outposts, applications running in NIC data centers can leverage the AWS Region in India, during peak demand for citizen-facing services. During peak demand periods, applications can expand to the AWS Region in India for use cases like data ingestion, with data synchronizing back to NIC data centers within hours, enabling elastic scaling beyond on-premises capacity constraints. Using AWS Outposts, NIC can enforce security guardrails via AWS Control Tower, to create a security baseline initialized for every new workload eliminating risk of human errors with manual configurations and preventing security drift.
“This synergy with Yotta represents AWS’s commitment to supporting the Government of India’s digital transformation vision,” said Sandeep Dutta, President, AWS India and South Asia. “By deploying AWS Outposts for NIC Meghraj 2.0, we’re enabling government departments to leverage the full power of our cloud services and generative AI capabilities while meeting the requirements for sensitive workloads.”
“This collaboration with AWS strengthens Yotta’s mission to power India’s sovereign and secure digital infrastructure for government”, said Sunil Gupta, Co-founder, Managing Director & CEO, Yotta Data Services. He further added, “By enabling AWS Outposts within NIC’s Meghraj 2.0 framework, we are combining Yotta’s enterprise-grade data center and sovereign cloud capabilities with AWS’s advanced cloud and AI services to deliver a robust hybrid architecture tailored for India’s public sector. Government departments can now scale citizen services seamlessly, leverage generative AI, and innovate faster while ensuring data residency and security within India’s trusted infrastructure ecosystem.”
