India's data centre capacity set for 5x surge by 2030: Crisil
Crisil Ratings forecasts a major expansion of India's data centre infrastructure, with installed capacity expected to grow five-fold by March 2030 and attract over Rs 3 lakh crore in investment over the next four years. The surge is driven by generative AI workloads, cloud adoption, and enterprise digitalisation, with nearly half of planned capacity already committed under long-term contracts with hyperscalers. Success depends on timely power connectivity, regulatory clearances and project execution, while India's 20% lower development costs versus competing Asia-Pacific markets strengthen its competitive position.
Key points
- Installed capacity expected to reach 7.5 GW by 2030, a five-fold increase
- Over Rs 3 lakh crore investment projected over four financial years
- Nearly 50% of new capacity already committed under long-term hyperscaler contracts
- GenAI workloads and cloud adoption driving primary demand growth
