India has secured more than $126 billion in planned data centre investments, according to a report by KPMG, as global tech giants and domestic operators build out infrastructure to support artificial intelligence workloads.

Market Impact

Total operational capacity crossed 1,700 megawatts in 2025, up from 778 megawatts in fiscal 2023, after a record 440 megawatts of new supply entered the market, a 160% increase from 2024, CBRE said.

The market is projected to expand another 30% in 2026, adding about 500 megawatts of fresh supply, CBRE said. Annual additions have roughly doubled since fiscal 2023.

Market research group IBEF projects the sector will reach $22 billion in value by 2030, expanding at an annual rate of 14% to 15%, compared to its current value. KPMG estimates the market for AI-optimised facilities alone will reach $46 billion by 2033, expanding at a 35.1% compound annual rate, driven by cloud adoption and cross-border transfer limits under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act.

Global technology firms have committed significant capital to build local capacity, with Amazon Web Services pledging $35 billion by 2030, and Microsoft committing $17.5 billion through 2030, following an earlier $3 billion programme, according to company statements. Alphabet's Google announced a $15 billion investment in Andhra Pradesh in October 2025, combining computing facilities with renewable energy and fibre infrastructure.

Domestic operators are also investing heavily, with Adani Group's joint venture AdaniConneX announcing $100 billion in renewable-powered hyperscale capacity through 2035, according to a company statement.

India's regulatory environment has moved to support data centre growth, with the Union Budget 2026-27 extending a 20-year tax holiday to eligible foreign cloud providers, alongside capital incentives for green technology adoption, said Morgan Stanley.

The government's draft National Data Center Policy is expected to streamline land, power, and environmental approvals, according to the draft policy. Multiple states have introduced their own incentive frameworks, with Telangana, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Uttar Pradesh leading inflows at the state level.

For Malaysian businesses, India's data centre boom presents opportunities for investment and partnership, as the country's growing digital economy and favourable regulatory environment make it an attractive destination for data centre operators, said Unaise Urfi of KPMG.

As the Indian data centre market continues to grow, it is likely to have a positive impact on the regional economy, with increased investment and job creation in the sector, according to a report by CBRE.

The growth of the data centre market in India is expected to continue, driven by the increasing demand for cloud computing and artificial intelligence, said a report by IBEF.

India's data centre sector is expected to reach new heights, with the government's support and the investment from global tech giants, said Unaise Urfi of KPMG.

The data centre market in India is projected to expand rapidly, with a growing demand for data storage and processing, said a report by CBRE.

The Indian government's efforts to support the data centre sector are expected to pay off, with the sector projected to reach $22 billion in value by 2030, said a report by IBEF.
