India’s data centre capacity could hit 8 GW by 2030
CATCH ME UP
Installed data-centre power capacity in India rose from 375 megawatts in 2020 to 1.57 gigawatts by August 2026.
Projections put capacity at nearly 8 gigawatts by 2030.
Growth is linked to expanding digital services, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence.
The sector is also supported by government fiscal incentives, infrastructure status, and renewable energy initiatives.
Why it mattersIndia’s expanding data centre buildout could shape digital infrastructure costs, energy demand, and capacity planning over the next decade.
More context
The Central Electricity Authority estimates electricity demand from data centres could reach 17 gigawatts by 2031-32.
