Chennai: India’s data center industry is expected to double capacity by 2023, says a study.
Capacity will exceed 1GW by 2023, driven by strong digitalisation, rising cloud adoption and ambitious growth plans of data center operators, according to JLL’s ‘H1 2021 India Data Center Market Update’.
Nationwide, the acceleration of digitalisation has forced enterprises to scale up their IT infrastructure. As a result of digital upgrades, a strong demand for colocation/cloud facilities, which offer scalability, security, and connectivity at lower costs, has been witnessed across India.
Additionally, investors and global data center players have increased their commitment during the last six months in the India market by announcing joint ventures to meet expected demand, it added.
