Axis Bank Plans to Double Data Center Lending Amid India's AI Growth
Axis Bank plans to double its lending exposure to data centers over the next three years, driven by India's growing artificial intelligence sector and demand for large-scale computing infrastructure. Currently, data center loans account for just over 2% of the bank's corporate loan book, valued at more than Rs 8,688 crore. The bank is also exploring financing opportunities with data center companies in Singapore. India's government policies and a projected $90 billion investment opportunity support the sector's expansion.
