Quick answer
India has a few hundred data centres when you count colocation, hyperscale and enterprise facilities, though exact counts differ by source and definition. Most capacity sits in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, Delhi NCR (Noida, Greater Noida, Gurugram), Pune, Bengaluru and Kolkata, and new campuses are being announced every year.
Key takeaways
- Counts vary by source and definition
- Capacity (MW) matters more than count
- Mumbai leads by capacity
Why counts differ
Some lists include small enterprise server rooms; others count only commercial colocation and hyperscale sites. Industry reports often measure capacity in megawatts instead.
Where they are
Most are in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, Delhi NCR (Noida, Greater Noida, Gurugram), Pune, Bengaluru and Kolkata.
Why it keeps rising
Cloud, AI and data localisation keep demand ahead of supply, so new land and power are constantly needed.
