Mumbai third in Asia Pacific region in data centre capacity: Report

Mumbai is the third largest market in Asia Pacific in terms of total data centre capacity, chasing Shanghai and Tokyo as the region logs “exponential growth” in internet usage.

Mumbai has a total capacity of 2,337 megawatt (MW), Tokyo has 2,575 MW and Shanghai is on top with 2,692 MW, according to a report by Knight Frank, a real estate consultant.

Mumbai is the only Indian city which had a “standout growth story” in the first quarter of the calendar year 2023 (Q1 CY23), with its total capacity expansion surpassing the 2,000-MW milestone. Supply movements have moderated compared to previous quarters, with more than 40 per cent of current live capacity absorbed throughout CY22.
