The company entered India earlier this year via the acquisition of Lumina CloudInfra and has already begun groundwork, including a planned 3GW facility in Maharashtra's Raigad Pen Growth Center worth ~$21 billion. AirTrunk joins Amazon, Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, Reliance, and Adani in a wave of major AI infrastructure investments in India, driven by government incentives including tax exemptions through 2047 for foreign cloud providers. India's data center capacity is projected to grow from 1.5GW today to as much as 8GW by 2030, though power, water, and land constraints remain potential bottlenecks. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
