India's Data Center Boom: Paving the Way for a Digital Future

The Data center industry in India is growing at an unprecedented rate and making advancements that are changing the digital landscape of the country. In 2023 alone, India added 211 MW of data center capacity, bringing the total to a commendable 1,011 MW. It is predicted that this trend will persist, and experts foresee a 26% CAGR over the next five years bringing the overall target to 2000 MW by December 2026.

India’s data center demand is propelled by the increasing injection of technology integrators such as #artificial intelligence, #internet of things, and #fifth generation (5G) networks, all of which are accompanied by fast speed of #digitalization in every industry. These prevailing currents indicate an urgent requirement of good data storage and processing parameters; hence construction of data centers is no longer restricted within metropolitan cities but also includes the Tier II and III cities. This wide geographic span demonstrates the significant digital transformation in the country of India.

Hyperscale data centers, which are mainly run by large cloud service providers, currently account for about 50% of the 1GW installed capacity in India. Nevertheless, experts in the industry expect that this will change as data will become a mainstay for many activities and this will cause emergent players from diverse sectors such as #e-commerce, #telecommunications, and #healthcare to start clamoring for edifices for heavy data operations.

Not only cloud service providers and #IT companies profit from an increase in data center capacity, but also content delivery networks. With the expansion of data centers, those businesses, which rely on constant real-time data processing will gain a new level of advantage in productivity, efficiency, and innovation.

In India’s context, the progressive growth of data center industry is not only about the expansion of its capacity; rather it is also a standing block in the growth of the digital economy.
