India's data centre capacity to hit 3GW by 2030 on investment surge: Report

India's data centre industry is on the brink of exponential growth, with total capacity expected to reach 3 GW by 2030, according to a report. The sector is also seeing a surge in annual investments, currently at USD 1-1.5 billion (around Rs 12,870 crore), and this figure is expected to double in the coming years, according to the report A Multi-Year Growth Proxy on India's Data Explosion and Localisation Wave by Avendus Capital. The data centre capacity of the country was estimated at 1.1 GW in 2024. Rising data consumption, AI and cloud adoption, and policy initiatives focused on data localisation are the main drivers of data centre demand, the report stated. The demand is expected to reach around 6 GW by 2033, but the supply is expected to be only 4.5 GW, leaving a gap of 1.5 GW. Much of the demand is expected to be met through large-format, hyperscale-ready infrastructure in core markets, alongside edge-ready capacity in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities for latency-sensitive workloads
