India’s data centre capacity to nearly double by 2027, says ICRA

India's data centre capacity is projected to nearly double, reaching 2,000-2,100 MW by March 2027, driven by increased data usage. Significant investments of Rs 2 lakh-2.3 lakh crore are planned, with new developments primarily in Mumbai, Chennai, and Hyderabad. Hyperscalers influence co-location services, leading to rental moderation as competition rises. The expansion is supported by AI, cloud, and 5G demands, although developers face longer payback periods and impacted returns due to increased competition.

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

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.
