In India, a massive digital transformation is being experienced, supported by the exponential growth of Data Centres. From 138 DCs spanning 11 million square feet, the data centre stock is predicted to double by 2025 up to 20 million square feet, with approximately 45 new centres likely to be added. Favourable government policies and incentives coupled with faster growth in the country’s digital economy makes this an exciting asset class for investors. While key metro cities remain the primary hotspots, Tier II cities are fast gaining traction.
Real estate investors have been breaching niche assets such as data centres to find new opportunities for capital allocations and diversify their portfolios. However, as a sector mostly dominated by higher cost PE funds and specialist investors, how can real estate funds and players get a foot in the door?
