The state government of Telangana has set a goal to develop 5 gigawatts of hyperscale data centre capacity by 2029, positioning the region as a major digital infrastructure hub.
Telangana's government announced a plan to reach 5 GW of hyperscale data‑centre capacity by 2029, marking an ambitious expansion of the state's digital infrastructure.
The target is intended to position Telangana, especially its capital Hyderabad, as a leading destination for large‑scale data‑centre projects, leveraging the region's power availability and connectivity.
Officials indicated that the initiative will seek to attract domestic and foreign investors, streamline approvals and possibly offer incentives, although detailed policy measures have not been disclosed.
If achieved, the 5 GW capacity would significantly boost the state's contribution to India's overall data‑centre ecosystem and support growing demand from cloud service providers and enterprise users.
The timeline aligns with India's broader push to enhance digital infrastructure ahead of upcoming technology initiatives.
