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

Mumbai metro holds 32 active projects with 2,694 MW of planned IT load between them, and Digital Edge Palava has no published figure so it sits outside that ranking. 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.

Digital Edge has 1 other in India and 4 projects elsewhere in the dataset tracked by ArusGrid, including Digital Edge BOM1 campus. It sits on the Lodha Palava Green Integrated Data Centre Park alongside AWS Palava. Named funding comes from Stonepeak 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 stage was recorded as at the land and permitting stage on 6 July 2026. The money on record is INR 10bn (about US$104m) as of July 2026, the announced investment.

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 3 public sources for this project, the latest dated 13 July 2026, and last checked the record on 12 October 2026.

Who uses the compute

Checked on 2026-10-01. No user of this capacity is on the public record. ArusGrid read the operator's releases, the landlord's and contractors' exchange filings, regulator and lender documents and interconnection records. Most colocation leases are confidential, so this says nothing about occupancy.
