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

Hyderabad holds 15 active projects with 1,128 MW of planned IT load between them, and CtrlS Chandanvelly datacenter park ranks second 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.

CtrlS has 4 others in India tracked by ArusGrid, including CtrlS Mumbai datacenter campus (DC1 to DC7), CtrlS Bodh Gaya AI Factory and CtrlS Chennai datacenter park (DC1 and DC2). No user of the capacity is on the public record as of 2026-10-01, after a check of operator, landlord, contractor, regulator and lender documents. Most colocation leases are confidential, so this says nothing about occupancy.

The dated record runs from announced only on 20 January 2025 to under construction on 8 September 2025. The money on record is INR 100bn (about US$1.2bn) as of January 2025, the announced investment. Power comes from Not named (Telangana grid) through a dedicated substation (reported, unconfirmed). Cooling uses hybrid air and liquid 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 7 public sources for this project, the latest dated 6 May 2026, and last checked the record on 22 October 2026.
