NTT Global Data Centers has published a comprehensive guide to India's regional data center expansion, emphasising that national growth demands regionally differentiated strategies rather than single-market deployments. India's infrastructure ecosystem evolves in parallel—power grids scale alongside hyperscale campuses, subsea cables expand with traffic surges, state policies mature concurrently with land development—creating portfolio opportunities across Mumbai (53% capacity), Chennai (21-23%), Delhi NCR (15-20%), Bengaluru, and...

TakeMe2Space, the Hyderabad-based space startup that successfully demonstrated orbital AI computing with India's PSLV mission, has set its sights on a groundbreaking 50-kilowatt orbital data center as the foundational building block for gigawatt-scale space infrastructure. After securing a $5 million seed round in January, founder Ronak Kumar Samantray revealed to SpaceNews the company now seeks $55 million in Series A funding to prove global...

India's data center market stands poised for explosive growth, surging from USD 10.8 billion in 2026 to USD 36.6 billion by 2035 at a 14.5% CAGR, driven by aggressive data localization mandates, hyperscale AI expansion, and government incentives accelerating cloud sovereignty. Dimension Market Research projects cloud providers capturing 50% deployment share, hyperscalers dominating 45% capacity, and Tier 3 facilities leading with 56% market preference...

India’s IT services sector is no longer just writing the software layer of the digital economy; it is beginning to build the physical AI infrastructure underneath it. That shift is visible in the latest earnings commentary from TCS and HCLTech, and it comes at a time when India’s data centre market is set to move from about $10 billion in 2025 to $22 billion...

India harbours genuine potential to emerge as a premier global data hub by 2030, propelled by explosive demand for AI, cloud services, and localised compute amid its digital economy's trillion-dollar trajectory. Current colocation capacity stands at 1.7 GW, poised for fivefold expansion to 8 GW by decade's end, attracting $30 billion in capex and elevating leasing revenues to $8 billion annually.  Hyperscalers like AWS, Microsoft,...

India's digital economy powers 15 billion UPI transactions each month, fuelling AI-driven innovation across banking, manufacturing, and retail sectors. However, this rapid expansion faces escalating threats—cyber incidents doubled from 10.29 lakh in 2022 to 22.68 lakh in 2024, while physical disruptions like Chennai floods and Mumbai power outages exposed critical vulnerabilities.  Traditional disaster recovery approaches, reliant on periodic backups and hours-long recovery times, simply cannot...

India's data centre landscape is undergoing a seismic shift, with Tier-2 cities like Hyderabad, Pune, and Jaipur surging ahead as the new epicenters of digital infrastructure. Driven by explosive demand for AI workloads, edge computing, and data sovereignty, these hubs are projected to capture over 20 percent of national capacity by 2030, growing at a staggering 70 percent compound annual rate. Far from peripheral...

India stands at a critical juncture in its digital transformation. The nation grapples with acute water stress—home to 18 percent of the world's population but only 4 percent of its water resources—while data centres underpinning AI, cloud computing, and edge services consume 150 billion litres annually. Projections forecast this doubling to 358 billion litres by 2030, coinciding with a 77 percent capacity surge to...
