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.
Hyderabad holds 15 active projects with 1,128 MW of planned IT load between them, and AirTrunk HYD1 ranks third 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. Vacancy excludes hyperscaler self-build.
AirTrunk has 4 others in India and 7 projects elsewhere in the dataset tracked by ArusGrid, including AirTrunk MAA1, AirTrunk BOM1 (ex-Lumina Airoli) and AirTrunk BOM3 Mumbai. Named funding comes from Blackstone and CPP Investments 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.
