New Delhi, June 27: Driven by steep data usage and digital adoption, India is likely to see a five times rise in data centre capacity expansion in years to come, a new report said on Thursday. The country requires an additional 1.7-3.6 GW (gigawatt) data centre capacity over and above the planned development of 2.32 GW (colocation) capacity.

It is estimated that India will be adding 464 MW of new colocation data centre capacity each year until 2028, according to the report by Cushman and Wakefield. India슬롯사이트™s colocation data centre capacity stood at 977 MW across the top seven cities in the second half of 2023. About 258 MW of Colo capacity came in 2023 alone.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천India Expected To Mandate USB-C Connectors for All Smartphones, Laptops by 2026 To Standardise Charging Solutions and Reduce Electronic Waste.

슬롯사이트œThis is a formidable number and surpassed the capacity addition in 2022 which stood at 126 MW, indicating a 105 per cent year-on-year (YoY) growth,슬롯사이트� the report mentioned. 슬롯사이트œThis exponential growth is driven by several factors, including increased data consumption due to widespread digital adoption and the use of data-intensive technologies.

An average Indian cell phone user consumes over 19 GB of data per month 슬롯사이트� the highest in the world. The country is experiencing an exponential rise in adoption of internet services, smartphones, social media, and OTT channels. Consequently, the demand for data centres is of high interest to transform India슬롯사이트™s digital infrastructure.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Elon Musk슬롯사이트™s SpaceX Wins USD 843 Million NASA Contract To Deorbit International Space Station in 2030.

슬롯사이트œBoth colocation data centres and cloud firm-owned data centres are being built at growing speeds over the last few years,슬롯사이트� the findings showed. While adding an average of 464 MW of Colo capacity each year until 2028 may seem like good delivery speed, India shall keep building more to capitalise on its digital transformation story, it added. Over the next five years, India is likely to see fastest growth in penetration of smartphones, internet, OTT subscriptions, and social media usage.
