NTT-Netmagic and CtrlS data centre providers constitute just over half of the live capacity in Mumbai market currently.
Over 328MW of data centre capacity was added in Mumbai in the first quarter of 2023, driven by announcements from existing players and a new market entrant – Digital Edge, a Stonepeak-backed operator set to deliver a hyperscale facility to the market.
