Microsoft has opened its India South Central Cloud Hub in Telangana, expanding its cloud infrastructure in the region.
Microsoft announced the launch of its India South Central Cloud Hub in the state of Telangana, marking the latest addition to its network of data centres across the country. The facility is expected to host Azure services and provide low‑latency connectivity for enterprises operating in central and southern India.
The new hub is part of Microsoft’s broader strategy to strengthen cloud availability and resilience in India, following earlier openings in Mumbai, Delhi‑NCR and Pune. By situating the centre in Telangana, the company aims to tap the state’s growing tech ecosystem and its supportive policy environment.
Industry analysts anticipate that the expansion will spur adoption of cloud‑based solutions among Indian businesses, especially in sectors such as fintech, e‑commerce and manufacturing. Microsoft has also indicated that the hub will create a range of skilled jobs in data‑center operations and related services.
The inauguration was attended by senior Microsoft officials and local government representatives, who highlighted the partnership’s potential to boost digital transformation and attract further investment to the region.
