India's data centre growth and its constraints
DataQuest
|February 2026
What has been the biggest change in the data centre industry in India, and is India echoing global patterns here?
-
India has seen an increase in various data centre types, such as energy-efficient, AI-dedicated, and GCC-driven facilities, as well as expanded operations from mega cloud service providers. These changes are primarily driven by two factors: a shortage of available power in developed countries, leading them to seek infrastructure in developing nations, and the unexpected surge in enterprise AI workloads.
The latter, especially those based on transformer architectures, demand significant computational power and rely on energy-intensive GPUs, further influencing data centre growth in India.
