India's data centre capacity is projected to surge five-fold to 7.5 GW by March 2030, drawing over Rs 3 lakh crore in investments over four financial years, according to a Crisil Ratings report. The boom is driven by GenAI, enterprise digitisation, and rising data consumption. Nearly half of the upcoming capacity is already committed via long-term contracts with hyperscalers. Development costs in India remain 20% lower than competing Asia-Pacific markets, though long-term success will rely on timely power connectivity, regulatory approvals, and disciplined project execution across major infrastructure hubs.
