Mumbai leads with 53% data center share as India’s total capacity crosses 1.5 GW

India’s financial capital Mumbai’s position as a gateway for global submarine cables and its proximity to major internet exchange points have made it the country’s most preferred data centre hub.

Mumbai continues to dominate the data centre (DC) landscape, accounting for 53% of the country’s total operational capacity of around 1,530 MW as of September 2025, according to CBRE South Asia.

Key cities including Chennai, Delhi-NCR, and Bengaluru follow Mumbai with shares of 20%, 10%, and 7%, respectively. Together, these four cities account for nearly 90% of India’s total data centre capacity.
