India's data center boom: 30% growth puts country on the map
India's data center scene is exploding—capacity just shot up 30% in a year, now topping 1.5 gigawatts as of Q3 2025.
Thanks to lower building costs, India is quickly becoming a major digital hub in Asia.
What's powering this surge?
A big part of the story is better global connectivity, with new subsea cables linking cities like Mumbai and Chennai to international networks.
Over $30 billion has poured into the market so far, with the highest investment traction recorded in Maharashtra, Telangana, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal.
The real drivers? AI, cloud computing, big data, IoT, and a push for digital transformation—plus a fast-growing GPU market (expected to jump 36% each year till 2030).
Data centers are also starting to tap into renewable energy for a greener future.
