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 Microsoft Hyderabad Chandanvelly campus (HYD11) has no published figure so it sits outside that ranking. 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.

Microsoft has 3 others in India and 10 projects elsewhere in the dataset tracked by ArusGrid, including Microsoft Hyderabad Mekaguda campus (HYD01), Microsoft Hyderabad Shadnagar campus (HYD04) and Microsoft Pune (Hinjewadi). It sits on the Microsoft India South Central campus alongside Microsoft Hyderabad Mekaguda campus (HYD01) and Microsoft Hyderabad Shadnagar campus (HYD04). The named user of the compute is Microsoft (reported, unconfirmed).

The dated record runs from under construction on 1 July 2024 to operational on 6 August 2026. Power comes from TGTRANSCO through grid supply at 220 kV.

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 24 September 2026, and last checked the record on 18 October 2026.
