The Delhi government will work to set up more than 200 Global Capability Centres (GCCs), train up to 6 lakh young people in digital skills and bring 100% of notified government services online, according to a draft Information Technology Policy for 2026-2031 prepared by the IT Department and shared with officials on Tuesday.
The draft policy proposes establishing two dedicated Innovation and Technology Districts, with South Delhi, Dwarka and East Delhi identified as priority areas. These districts will act as hubs offering office space, laboratories, co-working facilities and shared infrastructure for technology companies and start-ups. A single-window approval system is also proposed to make it easier for firms to set up operations in the national capital.
Eligible IT and IT-enabled services companies and GCCs will receive a 10% electricity tariff rebate and reimbursement of internet expenses up to ₹5 lakh annually for three years. GCCs that create more than 500 jobs will receive an employment incentive of ₹25,000 per employee annually for three years.
A diversity incentive of ₹5,000 per month per eligible woman, Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe employee, or employee with disability, will apply for five years, with the policy also targeting a 40% share of women in Delhi’s tech workforce by 2031.
On the governance side, the draft envisions bringing 100% of notified government services online through a unified portal called ‘myDelhi,’ and ensuring complete adoption of e-office and digital workflow systems across all government departments.
The policy will come into force after necessary approvals, officials said. If notified in its current form, it would replace Delhi’s earlier IT policy framework and position the city as a direct competitor to Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Pune in the race to host India’s rapidly expanding GCC ecosystem.
