India Prioritizes Sustainable Data Centre Expansion
Union Budget 2026 proposals aim to attract hyperscale data centres with subsidised land, tax holidays and tariff rebates as India’s capacity is projected to reach 14 GW by 2035 and investments may total $70 billion by FY35, industry reports said. Industry and consultants warn sustainability—power and water use—must be tied to incentives, with asks including audited PUE/WUE targets, green capex grants and ISTS waivers.
