STT GDC Bengaluru Whitefield campus is a data center project in Bengaluru (Whitefield), India, operated by STT GDC India. It is operational. It is planned for 23 MW of IT load. The operator reports 23 MW running.
Latest change on record: entered the record as operational on 20 December 2019. Record last checked against its sources on 22 October 2026.
This project is built or running, so every gate counts as passed.
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.
Bengaluru holds 4 active projects with 217 MW of planned IT load between them, and STT GDC Bengaluru Whitefield campus ranks 4th 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.
STT GDC has 9 others in India and 15 projects elsewhere in the dataset tracked by ArusGrid, including STT GDC Bengaluru Devanahalli campus, STT GDC Pune campus (Dighi) and STT Chennai Ambattur campus (Chennai 2, 3 and 4). No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.
The build is phased. Bengaluru 1 at 0.6 MW is operational; Bengaluru 2 at 4 MW is operational; Bengaluru 3 at 18 MW is operational with a 2019 target. The stage was recorded as operational on 20 December 2019. Cooling uses air cooling.
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 5 public sources for this project, the latest dated 3 November 2022, and last checked the record on 22 October 2026.
Running capacity. The site is operational or expanding. The rules are fixed and published on the Methodology page.
No public signal either way.
This country carries no US destination-based licence requirement for advanced AI chips as the rules are enforced today. Access is a commercial matter between the project and its vendors. Criteria are published on the Methodology page.
