INDIA DATA CENTER MARKET SIZE
The India data center market size will witness investments of USD 10.70 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 8.72% during the forecast period. This significant growth can be attributed to the rapidly evolving cloud computing landscape, ongoing digital transformation initiatives, and the strategic geographic location of India as a connectivity hub between Asia, Africa, and Europe.
The India data center market is a dynamic and rapidly growing segment, attracting significant investments from both domestic and international operators. Currently, there is a massive 3.73 GW of power capacity under development or planned throughout the country. Furthermore, Mumbai (Maharashtra), Noida (Uttar Pradesh), Chennai (Tamil Nadu), and Hyderabad (Telangana) are among the major smart cities in the country and are witnessing a surge in data center investments. The presence of these smart cities makes the country a major market for the development of data centers. Other cities, followed by Bengaluru (Karnataka) and Kolkata (West Bengal), are also seeing a boom in the data center market.
One of the key initiatives, Digital India, aims to transform India into a digitally empowered society and economy, serving as a significant catalyst for the demand for data storage solutions and the establishment of advanced digital infrastructure throughout the nation. Moreover, in recent years, the state government of India invested in the construction and expansion of State Data Centers (SDCs). Data center development in India is also carried out by central government agencies, such as the National Informatics Centre (NIC) and the National Payment Corporation of India (NCPI).
KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- The number of third-party data center facilities in the India data center market is actively growing, with a good start the country is aiming to become an established market in the APAC region and has around 121 existing colocation data centers spread across the country, with most of them being in Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu.
- Wholesale colocation continues to dominate the colocation market in India, with a higher capacity and market share compared with retail colocation. The demand for wholesale colocation is expected to grow owing to the growth in the use of cloud-based services. Cloud operators are likely to store part of their workloads via wholesale colocation.
- A strategic integration of technological innovation, sustainability, and global partnerships is evident in the Indian data center market. This dynamic environment revolutionizes the digital economy of India and makes it more competitive internationally in terms of digital infrastructure.
- According to Turner & Townsend’s Data Center Cost Index for 2024, the construction cost of data centers in Mumbai is $6.60 per watt, which is comparatively lower in comparison with Japan’s Tokyo and Australia’s Sydney. The costs are expected to rise year over year due to several factors, including supply chain issues, inflation, and interest rates.
- Data Center Policy formulated by states individually gives an edge for attracting investments into respective states. Currently, states like Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Karnataka, West Bengal, and other states have their own data center policy focused on ease of setting up businesses.
