NTT DATA And AWS Commit Over $22 Billion To India Data Center Expansion

India's data center market is experiencing a significant capital influx, driven by the country's rapid digitalization and the rising demand for AI-ready infrastructure. NTT DATA has committed $1.5 billion over the next three years to expand its local data center footprint. This investment is specifically focused on building facilities capable of supporting sovereign AI models, addressing critical needs for data control and geopolitical resilience.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced an even larger commitment, planning to invest over $21 billion in India between 2026 and 2030. This substantial capital injection will significantly enhance India's cloud capacity, reinforcing Mumbai and Hyderabad as the primary hubs for cloud and AI infrastructure. These investments are expected to provide the backbone for India's growing digital economy, supporting everything from enterprise cloud services to advanced AI research.

The Indian data center market is projected to reach a valuation of $10.6 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual rate of 12.4%. This growth is bolstered by government policies such as the National Data Centre Policy and the Data Centre Incentivization Scheme. As these global tech giants scale their operations, India is well-positioned to become a global center for data processing and AI development, attracting further interest from international investors and technology firms.
