Why is Bangalore’s data center market booming?
Bangalore is the capital city of the southern Indian state of Karnataka, and its data center market has benefited from the state’s official Data Center Policy, that was formulated in 2022. The policy aims to position Karnataka as a destination of choice for data centers by leveraging on the strengths of its digital ecosystem, IT infrastructure, cybersecurity framework, and a relative abundance of skilled workers.
While Mumbai and Chennai are still the two biggest data center markets in India, Bangalore has also been drawing the attention of data center operators. Today Bangalore is home to facilities by major data center players, such as CapitaLand, CtrlS Datacenters, Data Samudra, Iron Mountain Data Centers, Nxtra by Airtel, NTT, Sify, STT, Web Werks and many others.
According to Mordor Intelligence, the Bengaluru Data Center Market size in terms of installed base is expected to grow from 205.64 MW in 2024 to 414.63 MW by 2030, at a CAGR (Compounded Average Growth Rate) of 11.43 percent during the forecast period (2024-2030).
