As India accelerates towards becoming a $1-trillion digital economy, its data centre ecosystem is emerging as the backbone of this transformation. The surge in AI workloads, hyperscale cloud deployments and the country’s rapid digitisation across sectors from banking and retail to media and manufacturing has led to an unprecedented demand for secure, high-performance data infrastructure.
Over the past few years, India’s data centre capacity has more than doubled, with big players like Sify, NTT Data, Yotta and CtrlS investing billions to build world-class hyperscale campuses.
These facilities go beyond storing servers and power streaming services, fintech platforms, AI models and smart city systems across the country.
India’s data centre market itself is in a period of explosive growth. According to the Economic Survey 2024-25, the industry is expected to expand from $4.5 billion in 2023 to $11.6 billion by 2032. A JLL India report further estimates that overall capacity will surge by 77% by 2027, reaching 1.8 gigawatt.
To put this into perspective, the global data centre market was valued at $347.60 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $652.01 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 11.2% between 2025 and 2030.

Located in Hiranandani Fortune City, it provides low-latency connectivity to Mumbai and Pune. The facility is Tier-4 certified, ensuring high availability and reliability.
It is specifically designed for mission-critical cloud and AI applications requiring fault-tolerant infrastructure and continuous operation. The facility employs cutting-edge cooling technology and solar power to minimise environmental impact.
Google’s AI Campus
The recently announced Google AI Campus in Andhra Pradesh’s Visakhapatnam is a $15 billion project built to handle hyperscale AI workloads. With an initial IT capacity of one gigawatt (1,000 MW), it ranks among the world’s largest data centre campuses. The facility is equipped with advanced hardware, including tensor processing units and GPU clusters, designed for AI training and deep learning applications.
The campus takes advantage of nearby subsea cable networks to boost India’s international digital connectivity. Google has collaborated with AdaniConneX and Airtel to provide a renewable energy-powered and stable electricity supply, ensuring efficient and sustainable operations.
Reliance’s Data Centre
Reliance Industries is planning what could become the world’s largest AI-enabled data centre in Jamnagar, Gujarat, with a massive capacity of three gigawatts (3,000 MW). This project is set to significantly expand India’s digital infrastructure, more than tripling the country’s current data centre capacity, which was previously under one gigawatt. Estimates suggest the investment could be between $20 billion and $30 billion, reflecting the scale of the initiative and India’s growing role in global AI and cloud computing.
The Jamnagar campus is designed to support the full AI lifecycle, featuring state-of-the-art infrastructure powered mostly by renewable energy from the nearby Dhirubhai Ambani Green Energy Giga Complex.
Spread across 5,000 acres, this energy complex combines solar, wind and hydrogen power generation, highlighting Reliance’s focus on sustainability and reducing carbon emissions.
TCS’ AI Data Centre
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has unveiled plans to establish a large AI data centre in India with a projected total capacity of one gigawatt. The initiative involves an investment of around $6.5-7 billion, to be executed in multiple phases over the next five to seven years. For every 150 MW of capacity, the company is expected to invest roughly $1 billion, funding the project through a mix of equity, debt and strategic partnerships.
This new facility will operate under a wholly owned subsidiary dedicated to developing advanced AI infrastructure and sovereign data centres that promote data localisation within India.
