India's 3rd-party data centre capacity projected to reach 2,500 MW by FY28: Report

New Delhi, Sep 25

India's digital infrastructure is poised for a massive expansion, with the country's third-party data centre (DC) capacity expected to double to 2,400-2,500 megawatt (MW) by FY2028 -- up from 1,250 MW in FY2025, a report said on Thursday.

The expected growth would be driven by a robust investment pipeline of approximately Rs 90,000 crore over the next three years (FY2026-FY2028).

This near-term push is part of a much larger, long-term vision.

"Industry players have announced development plans totalling 3.0-3.5 GW to be built over the next 7-10 years, representing a colossal investment of Rs. 2.3-2.5 lakh crore, underscoring the sector's critical role in India's ongoing digital transformation," credit ratings agency ICRA said in its report.
