Your call. Will it be built?

Build odds is ArusGrid's reading of the public record, not a forecast, a rating or advice. It counts the gates this project has passed in public sources. Private progress does not show, a passed gate can be undone, and projects that pass every gate still stop. The method has not yet been tested against outcomes. How it works.

How India approves, powers and taxes data centers is on Data center rules in India.

Where it sits

Bengaluru holds 4 active projects with 217 MW of planned IT load between them, and CapitaLand DC ITPB Bengaluru ranks third by planned capacity. Of those, 2 are operational and 2 are announced only. Published colocation vacancy in Bengaluru was 37% as of June 2025. Vacancy excludes hyperscaler self-build.

CapitaLand Investment has 2 others in India tracked by ArusGrid, including CapitaLand DC Chennai and CapitaLand DC ITPH. It sits on the International Tech Park Bangalore. No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.

The stage was recorded as announced only on 25 September 2026. The money on record is INR 20bn (about US$233m) as of September 2026, the announced investment. Power comes from ITPB park substation (BESCOM/KPTCL grid) through a dedicated substation at 220 kV (reported, unconfirmed).

The US export control position for advanced AI chips in India, as of 27 September 2026, is recorded as “No US destination-based licence requirement as enforced”. ArusGrid holds 3 public sources for this project, the latest dated 25 September 2026, and last checked the record on 21 October 2026.
