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

Pune holds 4 active projects with 255 MW of planned IT load between them, and STT GDC Pune campus (Dighi) ranks second by planned capacity. Of those, 1 is operational, 1 is operational and expanding, 1 is at the land and permitting stage and 1 is announced only. Published colocation vacancy in Pune was 19.4% 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 Chennai Ambattur campus (Chennai 2, 3 and 4) and STT GDC Palava campus. No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.

The build is phased. Buildings in service at 40 MW is operational; Expansion to five buildings at 40 MW is under construction. The stage was recorded as operational and expanding on 31 May 2023. The money on record is INR 20bn (about US$242m) as of May 2023, the announced investment.
