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.
NCR holds 12 active projects with 1,055 MW of planned IT load between them, and STT Noida 3 ranks 10th by planned capacity. Of those, 4 are operational, 2 are operational and expanding, 2 are under construction and 4 are announced only. Published colocation vacancy in NCR was 44% as of June 2025. Vacancy excludes hyperscaler self-build.
STT GDC has 9 others in India and 15 projects elsewhere in the dataset tracked by ArusGrid, including STT GDC Bengaluru Devanahalli campus, STT GDC Pune campus (Dighi) and STT Chennai Ambattur campus (Chennai 2, 3 and 4). It sits on the STT Noida campus alongside STT Noida 2. Named funding comes from ST Telemedia on the equity side. No user of the capacity is on the public record as of 2026-10-02, 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 announced only on 22 January 2021.
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 27 September 2026, and last checked the record on 22 October 2026.
One or two hard signals sit behind the announcement. The rules are fixed and published on the Methodology page.
No public signal either way.
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.

Checked on 2026-10-02. 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.
No figure has been announced. This range is 28 MW of planned IT load times a published benchmark of US$6.64 per watt for Mumbai, plus or minus 15 percent. It covers the building and its mechanical and electrical plant. It excludes land, grid works, servers and fees.
