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.
Chennai holds 16 active projects with 819 MW of planned IT load between them, and AdaniConneX Chennai 1 ranks 7th by planned capacity. Of those, 10 are operational, 1 is operational and expanding, 2 are under construction, 2 are at the land and permitting stage and 1 is announced only. Published colocation vacancy in Chennai was 24.2% as of June 2025. Vacancy excludes hyperscaler self-build.
AdaniConneX has 5 others in India tracked by ArusGrid, including AdaniConneX Hyderabad (Elikatta campus), AdaniConneX Taloja campus and AdaniConneX Pune. Named funding comes from Adani Enterprises and EdgeConneX. 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 build is phased. Phase 1 at 17 MW is operational with a 2022 target; Growth pipeline per Q1 FY27 deck at 33 MW is announced. The stage was recorded as operational on 4 November 2022.
