Increasing data usage in the financial, entertainment and retail domain and higher commitment by cloud service providers will drive Indian Data Centre (DC) industry growth, leading to demand for 7.8 million sq. ft real estate space in the next two-and-a-half years. This will entail an investment of $4.6 billion, according to JLL’s report, Data Centre Update: H1 2022. The industry is expected to double in the next two-and-a-half years to 1,318 MW from the existing 637 MW capacity.
