Artificial intelligence is triggering a fresh investment boom in India’s data centre sector, with operators and investors rapidly scaling up capacity plans, deploying billions of dollars, to meet surging global demand for AI computing infrastructure.
Industry estimates suggest India’s operational data centre capacity could rise to nearly 4 GW by 2030 from around 1.5-1.7 GW in 2025, up sharply from about 375 MW in 2020, if current expansion plans materialise.
