India’s Second-Largest Data Center Market:
Chennai currently holds a colocation capacity of 88 MW, solidifying its position as the country’s second-largest data center market.
India stands at the forefront of a digital revolution, with companies across sectors embracing digital transformation at an unprecedented pace. Organisations across sectors are leveraging cutting-edge technologies to revolutionize their operations. Cloud computing, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT), and big data analytics are at the forefront, driving innovation and efficiency. This technological revolution has catalyzed an unprecedented demand for robust data center infrastructure and cloud services, with India's data center market projected to soar to $10.9 billion by 2024, while the Public Cloud Services market is expected to reach $24.2 billion by 2028, growing at remarkable CAGRs of 22% and 23.8% respectively.
This digital metamorphosis is supported by over 200 data centers across India, catering to the nation's expanding digital economy. The country's large consumer base, skilled workforce, and thriving startup ecosystem, combined with government incentives, make it an attractive destination for global data center operations. Long-term investment plans by hyperscale providers for self-built facilities further cement India's potential as a reliable global data hub.
