STT GDC India, in which Tata Communications holds a minority stake, has 28 data centres across 10 cities, with a combined capacity of more than 318 megawatt of IT load. It has about 1,000 enterprise customers.

Singapore-based data centre operator Princeton Digital Group (PDG) on Thursday announced to invest $1 billion in India and expand capacity to a total of 230 MW in the country.

Around 95 per cent of the existing capacity is in six cities with Mumbai and Chennai leading the race, Icra said.

The investment banking company expects the data center market to undergo significant structural changes, through the introduction of new business models and new investment profiles. Cloud computing is likely to remain the main driver of expansion for the data center industry.

One of the options is to allow these data centre parks to set up separate power grids, which will allow them to buy power from the power producer or some other power-surplus state instead of the state the infrastructure is domiciled in, another official said.

For large enterprises, Conversational AI isn't just another digital tool; it's becoming a strategic imperative. Consider this: a typical Fortune 500 company handles over 50 million customer interactions annually across various channels – from social media and websites to mobile apps and contact centers.
