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.
Other India holds 6 active projects with 410 MW of planned IT load between them, and SentraForge AI Puri campus ranks second by planned capacity. Of those, 1 is operational, 1 is under construction and 4 are announced only. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Other India, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.
It is the only SentraForge AI project ArusGrid tracks. Named funding comes from Megha Engineering and Infrastructures (MEIL) and GVPR Engineers. No user of the capacity is on the public record as of 2026-10-03, 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 24 September 2026. The money on record is INR 226.34bn (about US$2.6bn) as of September 2026, a government approval ceiling.
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 7 public sources for this project, the latest dated 1 October 2026, and last checked the record on 21 October 2026.
Construction or financing is evidenced, or several independent signals agree. The rules are fixed and published on the Methodology page.
Announced as a sovereign AI data centre campus.
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 2026-10-03. 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.
An approval figure is an incentive ceiling. It often covers a first phase and can exclude land or IT equipment.
The figure covers the whole campus.
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.
