Next gate to watch: Power arranged.

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

Other India holds 6 active projects with 410 MW of planned IT load between them, and RackBank AI Data Centre Park, Nava Raipur ranks third by planned capacity. Of those, 1 is operational, 1 is under construction and 4 are announced only. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Other India, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.

It is the only RackBank project ArusGrid tracks. No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.

The stage was recorded as under construction on 7 May 2025. The money on record is INR 10bn as of May 2025, the announced investment. Cooling uses direct liquid cooling.

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 6 public sources for this project, the latest dated 26 December 2025, and last checked the record on 19 October 2026.
