India's Data Centre Growth Faces Infrastructure Challenges Amid Rising Investment
India's data centre sector is rapidly expanding, driven by AI adoption and cloud growth, with capacity expected to more than double by 2025. Institutional investments have surged, reaching a $90 billion pipeline. However, challenges such as power grid bottlenecks, supply-chain constraints, and transmission infrastructure delays may limit capacity growth to around 3 GW by 2030. The sector's expansion is also projected to generate significant employment and housing demand, particularly in Maharashtra and Karnataka, transforming regional infrastructure and urban development.
