India Data Center Market - Investment Analysis & Growth Opportunities 2026-2031
Market Report I 2026-01-13 I 176 Pages I Arizton Advisory & Intelligence
The India data center market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 13.59% from 2025 to 2031.
INDIA DATA CENTER MARKET - KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, are the preferred locations in India, with major investments from colocation service providers such as ST Telemedia Global Data Centres, NTT DATA, CtrlS, Equinix, Sify Technologies, Nxtra by Airtel, among others.
- Data center operators in India are showing interest in adopting renewable and they signed a renewable energy PPA for their data center facility. For instance, in November 2025, CtrlS Datacenters announced that it had signed an MoU with NTPC Green Energy Limited (NGEL), a subsidiary of NTPC Limited, to develop a renewable energy project with a capacity of around 2GW.
- In India, the demand for data centers is steadily increasing. This growth is likely to raise the demand for both power and water, the two major components of data center operations. We believe that in the coming years, power challenges are likely to be reduced due to government initiatives and data center operators adopting renewable energy and in-house grid systems. However, we have noticed, there is likely to be one more challenge in the future, i.e, water challenges in the Indian data center market. Most of the data centers are expected to adopt a liquid cooling system, which uses less water than a traditional cooling system.
- In August 2025, CtrlS Datacenters announced that it had launched its first phase of the Kolkata data center campus, which uses a liquid cooling system in its facility to manage its heat.

INDIA DATA CENTER MARKET VENDOR LANDSCAPE
The India data center market has the presence of several major data center operators, including AdaniConneX, Colt Data Centre Services, CtrlS, Equinix, Digital Connexion (BAM Digital Reality), NTT DATA, Nxtra by Airtel, ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (STT GDC), and others. Some data center operators have expanded their facilities across the country, with new developments expected to become operational during the forecast period.
The country has the presence of some of the major cloud operators, such as AWS, Google, IBM Cloud, Microsoft, Oracle, OVH, and Tencent Cloud, with dedicated cloud region(s). Their cloud regions are spread across various cities such as Chennai, Delhi NCR, Hyderabad, and Pune.
The India data center market has the presence of several major IT infrastructure vendor, including Arista Networks, Broadcom, Cisco Systems, Dell Technologies, IBM, Lenovo, NVIDIA, among others.
In India, some data center operators have adopted NVIDIA IT products to accelerate computing, networking, and software. For instance, Sify Technologies adopted NVIDIA DGX A100 systems, while RackBank deployed NVIDIA H100, A100, and GB200 GPUs for their data center.
The India data center market has the presence of several global and local data center construction contractors & sub-contractors, including AECOM, AIPL, DSCO Group, AHLUWALIA CONTRACTS (INDIA), KEC International KBE (Krishna Buildestates), Larsen & Toubro, Shubham EPC, Leighton Asia, Sterling and Wilson and others. For instance, in January 2025, Shubham EPC announced that it had started construction on two of its data centre projects, NMDC02 and NMDC03, for STT Global Data Centres in Navi Mumbai.
In India, data centers use both traditional cooling systems as well as liquid cooling systems. The liquid cooling has higher thermal transfer properties than the air-cooling system. It uses water or other fluids to cool high-density racks. For instance, Sify Technologies utilises liquid cooling in its data center facility at the Mumbai-Rabale campus, and it has also planned to implement a liquid cooling system in other facilities in India, which will support approximately 130 kW/rack. In addition, it has become the first data center in India to achieve NVIDIA DGX-Ready Data Centre certification for liquid cooling.
In November 2025, Johnson Controls announced the launch of the Silent-Aire Coolant Distribution platform, which is expected to provide scalable liquid-cooling capacities for data centres in India.
