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

Mumbai metro holds 32 active projects with 2,694 MW of planned IT load between them, and Sify Rabale campus ranks 7th 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.

Sify has 4 others in India tracked by ArusGrid, including Sify Chennai 02 Siruseri campus, Sify Vizag AI data centre and open CLS and Sify Noida 02. It sits on the Sify Rabale campus. Named funding comes from Sify Technologies on the equity side and IFC as debt. 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. Towers 1 and 2 at 22 MW is operational; Tower 3 at 24 MW is operational; Tower 4 at 8.1 MW is operational. The stage was recorded as operational and expanding on 27 September 2026. Power comes from on-site substations through a dedicated substation at 220 kV. 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 8 public sources for this project, the latest dated 27 September 2026, and last checked the record on 21 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.

Money at this site

ArusGrid estimate, building costabout US$767m to US$1.1bn

No figure has been announced. This range is 136 MW of planned IT load times a published benchmark of US$6.64 per watt for Mumbai, plus or minus 15 percent, with 10 percent more at the top for liquid cooling because the project is AI-positioned. It covers the building and its mechanical and electrical plant. It excludes land, grid works, servers and fees.

Benchmark: Turner & Townsend Data Centre Construction Cost Index 2025, as reported by Data Storage Asia. An estimate is never added to any total on the site.
