India's data centre pipeline likely to create 4.33 lakh jobs

New Delhi, Aug 3 (IANS) India’s proposed data centre pipeline of nearly 9,030 MW could generate nearly 4.33 lakh ecosystem jobs and translate into an estimated 195 million square foot of residential space demand by 2030, a report said on Monday.

The report from Square Yards said India currently produces nearly 20 per cent of the world’s digital data but accounts for only 4 per cent of global data centre capacity, leaving substantial room for infrastructure expansion.
