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

Hyderabad holds 15 active projects with 1,128 MW of planned IT load between them, and AdaniConneX Hyderabad (Elikatta campus) ranks first by planned capacity. Of those, 5 are operational, 3 are under construction, 3 are at the land and permitting stage and 4 are announced only. Published colocation vacancy in Hyderabad was 23.4% as of June 2025.
