India's data centre capacity to double to 2,000 MW by 2026

India's data centre capacity is projected to double to 2,000 MW by 2026. This growth is fueled by the country's shift towards becoming a developed market economy and an increase in 'green energy' solutions. The data centre industry is expected to experience a revenue growth of 32% between FY24 and FY26. Despite India generating about 20% of global data, its data centre capacity currently only accounts for 3%. However, the wave of digitization and the expansion of e-commerce, fintech platforms, online streaming, and gaming services in India are expected to drive a robust demand for data centres.
