DATA CENTRES SEEK RELIABLE ACCESS TO GREEN POWER, LAST MILE CONNECTIVITY & FASTER APPROVALS
INDIAGENERATES NEARLY 20% of global data, but hosts only about 3% of the global data centre capacity (approximately 1.2-1.7 GW out of over 100 GW globally).
It is estimated that 90% to 95% of data generated by Indians is stored or processed overseas. The tax holiday announced in Budget 2026 for foreign cloud service providers using Indian data centres is a timely and strategic intervention aimed at narrowing India’s data infrastructure gap. It is also a strong signal that India wants to become a serious global data centre and AI computing hub.
Industry players feel that tax incentives alone will not close the gap between the data India generates and the infrastructure it hosts.
