Tata Consultancy Services
(
TCS
) on Thursday launched new India-specific solutions to ensure data security enabled by localised cloud infrastructure.
Designed to accelerate India's artificial intelligence (AI)-led transformation, TCS has launched 'SovereignSecure Cloud', 'DigiBOLT' and 'Cyber Defense Suite'.
'As we look to apply more and more emerging technologies to various tasks within the country, especially artificial intelligence, more and more data will have to be used. More and more data will have to be processed, and facilities to enable this are needed within the country and to that extent, today's launch is very significant,' said
S Krishnan
, secretary,
Ministry of Electronics and IT
(
MeitY
).
Krishnan added that the event is significant as a homegrown company has launched a local cloud service, which will be available for government, public, and private sector organisations. 'We can use a lot of this facility to further build the digital journey that India has embarked upon,' Krishnan added.
As per the top MeitY official, the share of the digital economy in India's overall economy is expected to climb from 6-7% currently to 20% by 2030. 'When we reach that level, it is important that we are equipped in every way to handle all the opportunities that it brings to us,' Krishnan said.
Girish Ramachandran, president (growth markets), TCS, said, 'India is at an inflection point where data sovereignty, AI, and digital acceleration are converging to create unprecedented opportunities. These new offerings, tailored to India's unique needs, reaffirm our commitment to building a secure, AI-powered digital foundation for India.'
The SovereignSecure Cloud is an indigenous and secure cloud built and managed entirely by TCS. It comes with integrated AI capabilities to support government institutions, public sector enterprises, and regulated industries. The solution keeps sensitive data within India's borders, leveraging TCS data centres in Mumbai and Hyderabad.
Complementing
TCS SovereignSecure Cloud
is TCS DigiBOLT, a comprehensive low-code platform coupled with AI that empowers enterprises to accelerate and scale their end-to-end digital innovation journeys. It provides all the necessary accelerators to model, automate, and optimise digital processes at scale, fuelling faster application implementation, AI adoption, and enterprise agility.
Security is the cornerstone of this initiative, and TCS is introducing its Cyber Defense Suite, a security-as-a-service platform, in India, thereby strengthening the cybersecurity framework of enterprises with advanced AI-driven protection.

India–US Trade Deal In Limbo As American Delegation Postpones Visit Amid Tariff Dispute: Report
New Delhi: The next round of negotiations for the proposed India-United States bilateral trade agreement (BTA) is likely to be delayed, with a visiting American delegation expected to defer its scheduled trip to New Delhi later this month, according to reports. Five rounds of talks have already taken place, with the sixth round originally planned from 25 to 29 August. However, according to media reports, an official source familiar with the matter, speaking on condition of anonymity, said, 'This visit is likely to be rescheduled.' The apparent postponement comes amid escalating trade tensions between the two nations. Washington has recently imposed additional trade penalties on India, including a 25% duty on Indian goods that came into effect on 7 August. A further 25% tariff, announced as a response to India's continued crude oil and defence equipment purchases from Russia, is scheduled to be implemented from 27 August. Combined, these duties will raise tariffs on Indian exports to the US to a substantial 50%. In parallel, the US has also been pressuring India to open up politically sensitive sectors, particularly agriculture and dairy, demands that India has firmly rejected, citing the impact on small farmers and cattle rearers. Despite the recent friction, bilateral trade between India and the US has continued to show growth. According to data from India's commerce ministry, exports to the United States rose by 21.64% to USD 33.53 billion during April-July 2025, while imports from the US increased by 12.33% to USD 17.41 billion. The United States was India's largest trading partner in that period, with total bilateral trade amounting to USD 12.56 billion. New Delhi and Washington have expressed their intent to conclude the first phase of the BTA by autumn 2025, with an ambitious goal to more than double the current USD 191 billion trade volume to USD 500 billion by 2030. In response to US President Donald Trump's announcement of the additional 25% tariff on Indian exports, Prime Minister Narendra Modi used his Independence Day address to champion local production and reaffirm support for farmers and traditional livelihoods. 'Modi is standing like a wall against any harmful policy related to the farmers, fishermen, and cattle-rearers of India. We will never accept any compromise regarding our farmers, their livestock rearers, and fishermen,' the Prime Minister declared. Meanwhile, hopes of a shift in US tariff policy were sparked by high-level diplomatic developments. A key discussion between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin took place in Alaska on Saturday (IST), focusing on the ongoing Ukraine conflict. Improved US–Russia relations could potentially influence the severity or implementation of the secondary sanctions impacting India. Commenting after the summit, Trump, who had recently taken a tough stance against Moscow, remarked, 'I might have to consider it (sanctions) in two or three weeks, but there's no immediate need. If I did secondary sanctions now, that would be devastating for them.'

US trade team's India visit postponed as Trump hikes tariffs, deal stuck on agri: Report
The sixth round of India-US talks on a proposed bilateral trade agreement, scheduled for later this month in New Delhi, is likely to be postponed, says report. A planned visit by a US delegation to India later this month for the next round of talks on a proposed bilateral trade agreement is likely to be deferred, PTI reported on Saturday, citing an official who did not wish to be named. The sixth round of negotiations between the two countries was scheduled to take place in New Delhi from August 25 to 29. So far, five rounds have been completed. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'This visit is likely to be rescheduled,' the official told PTI. The development comes days after US President Donald Trump announced fresh tariffs on India, including an additional 25 per cent duty linked to New Delhi's continued purchase of Russian oil, taking the total tariff burden to 50 per cent. While negotiations are underway, Washington has been pushing for greater market access in politically sensitive areas such as dairy and agriculture. India, however, has made it clear that it will not accept terms that affect the livelihood of its farmers and cattle rearers. Both countries have expressed intent to conclude the first phase of the bilateral trade agreement (BTA) by the fall, with an aim to double bilateral trade from the current USD 191 billion to USD 500 billion by 2030.

Hyderabad gears up for Swadeshi, eco-friendly Ganesh Chaturthi with 1.4 lakh pandals
Hyderabad: The city is gearing up for a grand Ganesh Chaturthi, with over 1.4 lakh pandals set to come up this year. The Bhagyanagar Ganesh Utsav Samithi, now in its 46th year, has announced 'swadeshi' as the central theme of the celebrations. "Nearly Rs 1 lakh crore is spent annually on Ganesh Utsavs across the country. All the puja-related products should come from Goshalas and local manufacturers instead of imports," said R Shashidhar, general secretary of the Samithi and Vishwa Hindu Parishad national spokesperson. "Festivals like this must promote swadeshi and the spirit of Make in India." Along with swadeshi, the Samithi has added a patriotic dimension by dedicating this year's festivities to the 150th birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. The celebrations will also highlight 'desh bhakti' and 'daiva bhakti', with a special focus on Operation Sindoor.
