Six-fold increase in data centre capacities expected in the next six years: ICRA

Data localisation and data explosion are paving the way for a data centre (DC) revolution in India, and a six-fold increase in their capacities is expected in the next six years, according to credit rating agency ICRA.

To cater to the increasing demand, Indian corporates like the Hiranandani Group, the Adani Group, Reliance Industries, foreign investors Blackstone, CapitaLand, Princeton Digital Group, captive consumers like Amazon and Microsoft have started investing massively in DCs. Existing players like NTT, CtrlS, Nxtra and STT India are also expanding their capacities.
