Where it sits

Other India holds 3 active projects with 120 MW of planned IT load between them, and SentraForge AI Puri campus ranks first by planned capacity. Of those, 3 are announced only. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Other India, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.

It is the only SentraForge AI project ArusGrid tracks. Named funding comes from Megha Engineering and Infrastructures (MEIL) and GVPR Engineers. No user of the capacity is on the public record as of 2026-10-03, after a check of operator, landlord, contractor, regulator and lender documents. Most colocation leases are confidential, so this says nothing about occupancy.

The stage was recorded as announced only on 24 September 2026. The money on record is INR 226.34bn (about US$2.6bn) as of September 2026, a government approval ceiling.

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 5 public sources for this project, the latest dated 1 October 2026, and last checked the record on 3 October 2026.

Who uses the compute

Checked on 2026-10-03. No user of this capacity is on the public record. ArusGrid read the operator's releases, the landlord's and contractors' exchange filings, regulator and lender documents and interconnection records. Most colocation leases are confidential, so this says nothing about occupancy.

Money at this site

Approved by a government investment agency, 2026-09INR 226.34bn (about US$2.6bn)

An approval figure is an incentive ceiling. It often covers a first phase and can exclude land or IT equipment.

The figure covers the whole campus.
