India’s information technology (IT) spend is projected to touch $176.3 billion in 2026, rising 10.6 per cent from 2025, and outpacing the 9.8 per cent growth expected globally, according to the latest forecast by Gartner Inc., a business and technology insights company.
The growth is being propelled by investments in data centres and software, according to its latest forecast. For 2025, Gartner had projected 11.2 per cent growth in India’s IT spend, taking it to $160 billion.
The data centre segment in India is projected to record the highest annual growth rate of 20.5 per cent in 2026. It would continue to outpace all other IT segments despite moderating from 29.2 percent in 2025, said the report. “Enterprises in India are accelerating their adoption of Cloud and digital technologies, which will drive sustained and robust growth in IT spend in 2026,” said DD Mishra, vice-president (VP) analyst at Gartner.
