India's data centre industry is poised for an unprecedented investment boom, with installed capacity expected to increase five-fold to around 7.5 gigawatts (GW) by March 2030, attracting investments of more than Rs 3 lakh crore over the next four financial years, Crisil Ratings said in a report on Tuesday.

"Nearly half of the upcoming capacity is already committed under long-term contracts, limiting speculative development and reducing offtake risk," Crisil Ratings said. "Upfront tie-ups with hyperscalers, driven by cloud adoption and compute-intensive GenAI workloads, provide revenue certainty from the outset

The terms would have applied to all business clients, regardless of opposition, and without payment for the extracted content. Critics say Meta would have been able to use the content to potentially build products such as AI services that could compete with news publishers. The new terms only apply to business accounts. Regular users of Meta's platforms, including Instagram and Facebook, can already have their posts scraped to train AI models as long as they are ...
