Colt Airoli expansion campus is a data center project in Navi Mumbai (Airoli), India, operated by Colt Data Centre Services. It is under construction. The published capacity figure is 100 MW, and its basis is not stated as IT load.
Latest change on record: moved to under construction on 15 October 2026. Record last checked against its sources on 22 October 2026.
Next gate to watch: Builder appointed.
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.
Mumbai metro holds 32 active projects with 2,694 MW of planned IT load between them, and Colt Airoli expansion campus ranks 10th by planned capacity. Of those, 4 are operational, 5 are operational and expanding, 11 are under construction, 6 are at the land and permitting stage and 6 are announced only. Published colocation vacancy in Mumbai metro was 6.6% as of June 2025. Vacancy excludes hyperscaler self-build.
Colt DCS has 1 other in India tracked by ArusGrid, including Colt Mumbai 1 and 2. Named funding comes from RMZ. No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.
The build is phased. Phase A at 30 MW is land and permitting; Mumbai 3 at 64 MW is under construction. The dated record runs from at the land and permitting stage on 18 July 2024 to under construction on 15 October 2026. The money on record is INR 85bn (about US$1.0bn) as of November 2024, the announced investment. Power comes from Not named (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 9 public sources for this project, the latest dated 16 October 2026, and last checked the record on 22 October 2026.
Construction or financing is evidenced, or several independent signals agree. The rules are fixed and published on the Methodology page.
Reaching this stage requires a dated construction source, which corroborates the project on its own.
Mumbai 3 uses hybrid air and direct-to-chip liquid cooling and is leased to a hyperscaler (DCD, 2026-10-15).
This country carries no US destination-based licence requirement for advanced AI chips as the rules are enforced today. Access is a commercial matter between the project and its vendors. Criteria are published on the Methodology page.

ArusGrid estimate, grade C. Published band for this country. Priced on the hyperscale band, which already reflects anchor deals. No usable capex for this site. Electricity unstated in the band. An estimate, never a quote, computed by fixed rules published on the Colo prices page and never counted in any total.
