Microsoft Launches India South Central Cloud Region in Hyderabad
Microsoft said India has 2 GW of data centre capacity now and expects 12-14 GW by 2035 as demand for AI infrastructure rises.
- On Monday, Microsoft launched its fourth India cloud region in Hyderabad as part of a $20.5 billion investment commitment, joining existing facilities in Pune, Chennai, and Mumbai to strengthen the company's hyperscale cloud infrastructure presence.
- Microsoft India and South Asia President Puneet Chandok said India generates 20% of the world's data while possessing only 3% of data capacity, a gap the Hyderabad facility aims to address through mission-critical and AI workload support.

- Microsoft Vice Chair and President Brad Smith stated the region provides organizations in India and Asia with greater resilience and choice, while IDC analysts forecast public cloud services spending in India will reach $45.7 billion by 2030.
- India's current 2 GW data centre capacity is projected to rise significantly by 2035 with over $100 billion in investments committed, as Microsoft envisions the nation becoming a key AI infrastructure hub for the Global South and Asia.
