Cloud Nine: India's Data Centres to Attract Billions

India's data centre industry is set to witness strong growth, with investments expected to touch Rs. 40,000-45,000 crore in FY26-27. This growth is fueled by the fast-paced growth of digital services, data localization policies, and the growing need for cloud and AI-powered infrastructure. The operational capacity of Indian data centres is likely to increase more than two-fold to 2,000-2,100 MW by FY27 from approximately 1,150 MW now. Major players such as NTT, STT, CtrlS, Sify, and Nxtra control the market, with new players also investing heavily. The growth is aided by encouraging regulatory policies and increasing adoption of technologies such as 5G and AI.
