India’s Edge Data Centre

Rating agency ICRA has projected a substantial rise in India’s edge data centre capacity, which is expected to grow threefold – from 60-70 MW in 2024 to around 200-210 MW by 2027. This expansion is being driven by the rapid adoption of emerging technologies.

ICRA noted that India remains a relatively new player in the edge data centre space. Currently, edge data centres account for only about 5 per cent of the country’s total data centre capacity. If one excludes the capacity used for captive purposes by a major operator, the share drops even further to just around 1 per cent.
