Your call. Will it be built?

Build odds is ArusGrid's reading of the public record, not a forecast, a rating or advice. It counts the gates this project has passed in public sources. Private progress does not show, a passed gate can be undone, and projects that pass every gate still stop. The method has not yet been tested against outcomes. How it works.

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

Where it sits

Hyderabad holds 15 active projects with 1,128 MW of planned IT load between them, and Nxtra by Airtel Hyderabad hyperscale campus ranks 6th by planned capacity. Of those, 5 are operational, 3 are under construction, 3 are at the land and permitting stage and 4 are announced only. Published colocation vacancy in Hyderabad was 23.4% as of June 2025. Vacancy excludes hyperscaler self-build.

It is the only Bharti Airtel project ArusGrid tracks. It sits on the Nxtra Hyderabad campus. No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.

The stage was recorded as announced only on 18 January 2023. The money on record is INR 20bn as of January 2023, 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 4 public sources for this project, the latest dated 13 November 2024, and last checked the record on 19 October 2026.
