<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>NEW DELHI: The data centre<\/a> capacity in India is expected to double to 1,700-1,800MW in FY25P from nearly 870MW capacity in FY22E, according to ratings agency CRISIL<\/a>.

The capacity expansion will be driven by a trio of factors – data boom, digital adoption and local data storage mandates, and will require investments of about Rs 40,000 crore, the agency said in a research note Wednesday.

Further, the launch of
5G services<\/a>, expected by the end of fiscal 2023 will boost the demand for data and storage capacities. Data localization norms and digital initiatives would be another tailwind, it added.

“The industry is expected to add ~850-900 MW capacity during fiscals 2023-25. Mumbai, the financial capital of the country that accounts for around half of the existing capacity, is expected to add ~300 MW,” said Nitesh Jain, Director, CRISIL Ratings.

This growth in the financial hub of the country will be supported by proximal access to subsea cables, optic fibre connectivity, uninterrupted power supply and availability of skilled manpower. “Hyderabad, Chennai, and Pune will follow suit, and likely to add ~400 MW capacity cumulatively,” Jain said.

Adoption of advanced technologies and digital infrastructure, and the increasing use of smart devices by users have led to a massive spurt in data and cloud usage, CRISIL said, attributing that these created a huge demand for
data centres<\/a>.

According to the note, wireless mobile data traffic grew ~31% to ~253 exabytes in 2021.

“We certainly are well positioned to do our part,” Sanjay Goel, executive vice president and president, Asia-Pacific, told ET. “We believe that given our nationwide scale, long-standing customer relationships and learnings in the marketplace over the last decade plus, we are in a great position to deliver strong growth both organically and through the deployment of new sites for many years to come.”<\/p><\/div>
