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.

Where it sits

Kolkata holds 4 active projects with 135 MW of planned IT load between them, and STT GDC Kolkata New Town ranks 4th by planned capacity. Of those, 3 are operational and 1 is under construction. Published colocation vacancy in Kolkata was 17% 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 stage was recorded as operational on 1 April 2025. The money on record is INR 4.5bn (about US$53m) as of April 2025, the announced investment.

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 4 public sources for this project, the latest dated February 2026, and last checked the record on 22 October 2026.
