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.

How well evidenced is it

One or two hard signals sit behind the announcement. On record: named funder, committed or approved capital. Criteria.
