Summary:

According to NES Data MD Umesh Sahay, rising demand from smaller cities, as well as scalable alternatives such as edge and containerised data centres, are projected to drive India's data centre infrastructure expansion. While Mumbai and Chennai presently account for 70% of capacity, the focus is turning to tier-two cities and outlying locations, where decentralised, low-latency, and modular centres offer more digital access and faster implementation.

NES Data, located in Pune, plans to establish numerous edge and containerised data centres next month to assist India's AI-driven digital ecosystem. These centres provide low-latency, highefficiency, and scalable solutions that shorten deployment times. As hyperscale data centre projects stagnate owing to high costs, decentralised facilities gain traction. With increased data storage demands, towns like as Jaipur, Kochi, and Lucknow are developing as centres. By 2030, edge and containerised centres may account for 25-30% of new infrastructure.
