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 CapitaLand DC Chennai ranks 13th 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.
CapitaLand Investment has 2 others in India tracked by ArusGrid, including CapitaLand DC ITPB Bengaluru and CapitaLand DC ITPH. It sits on the CapitaLand DC Chennai Ambattur campus. Named funding comes from CapitaLand India Trust and CapitaLand India Data Centre Fund on the equity side. 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 at the land and permitting stage on 13 December 2022 to under construction on 29 July 2026. The money on record is INR 19.4bn as of December 2022, the announced investment. Power comes from On-site solar (operator) through onsite solar.
