Australian Data Centre Giant Plans Bigger India Expansion Amid AI Boom

Email:online@newsofbahrain.com

New Delhi: Australian data centre operator AirTrunk is looking to expand its investments in India as demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure accelerates and the country positions itself as a major global technology hub.

The company already has a development pipeline of 600 megawatts across Mumbai, Chennai and Hyderabad, but says further investment is likely as India becomes an increasingly important market.

Chief Executive Robin Khuda said discussions with Indian officials highlighted a strong push to attract AI-related investment, with policymakers keen to compete globally for capital and technology projects.

India has emerged as a key destination for AI and data centre development, supported by incentives for foreign investors and growing demand for digital infrastructure.

The expansion comes as major Indian conglomerates also ramp up investments in the sector, with Reliance and Adani committing billions of dollars towards AI and data infrastructure projects.
