AirTrunk, backed by Blackstone, has committed $30 billion to develop 5GW of AI data center capacity in India by 2030, marking one of the largest investments in the country's digital infrastructure. The company has already begun expansion through land acquisition in Maharashtra for a 3GW facility and has an existing 600MW pipeline across major Indian cities. This massive investment is supported by Indian government incentives, including tax exemptions for foreign cloud providers through 2047, as the country aims to increase its data center capacity from 1.5GW to 8GW by 2030.
