How India approves, powers and taxes data centers is on Data center rules in India.

Where it sits

Bengaluru holds 4 active projects with 232 MW of planned IT load between them, and STT GDC Bengaluru Devanahalli campus ranks first by planned capacity. Of those, 2 are operational and 2 are announced only. Published colocation vacancy in Bengaluru was 37% as of June 2025. Vacancy excludes hyperscaler self-build.

STT GDC has 9 others in India and 15 projects elsewhere in the dataset tracked by ArusGrid, including STT GDC Pune campus (Dighi), STT Chennai Ambattur campus (Chennai 2, 3 and 4) and STT GDC Palava campus. No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.

The stage was recorded as announced only on 25 September 2026. The money on record is INR 50bn (about US$581m) as of September 2026, the announced investment.

The US export control position for advanced AI chips in India, as of 27 September 2026, is recorded as “No US destination-based licence requirement as enforced”. ArusGrid holds 1 public source for this project, the latest dated 25 September 2026, and last checked the record on 10 October 2026.
