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

Other India holds 6 active projects with 410 MW of planned IT load between them, and Adani High Density Data Centre Park, Naraj has no published figure so it sits outside that ranking. Of those, 1 is operational, 1 is under construction and 4 are announced only. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Other India, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.

It is the only Adani project ArusGrid tracks. It sits on the Naraj Data Centre Park. Named funding comes from Adani Infra India on the equity side. No user of the capacity is on the public record as of 2026-10-03, after a check of operator, landlord, contractor, regulator and lender documents. Most colocation leases are confidential, so this says nothing about occupancy.

The stage was recorded as announced only on 25 September 2026. The money on record is INR 1.04tn (about US$12.1bn) as of September 2026, a government approval ceiling.

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 7 public sources for this project, the latest dated 30 September 2026, and last checked the record on 15 October 2026.

Who uses the compute

Checked on 2026-10-03. No user of this capacity is on the public record. ArusGrid read the operator's releases, the landlord's and contractors' exchange filings, regulator and lender documents and interconnection records. Most colocation leases are confidential, so this says nothing about occupancy.
