Microsoft opens its largest India data center hub as AI race heats up

Microsoft has opened its largest data center in India, located in Hyderabad, as part of its expansion strategy in the country's rapidly growing AI market. The facility, which adds to Microsoft's existing cloud regions in Pune, Chennai, and Mumbai, marks the company's commitment of $20.5 billion to expand its operations in India. Early adopters include Adani Group and HDFC Bank, while Microsoft's cloud division, Azure, has seen double-digit revenue growth in India over the past two years. Competitors such as Alphabet and Amazon are also increasing their investments in India's data center infrastructure. However, some environmental concerns have been raised regarding other projects, like Google's planned data center hub, though these claims have been dismissed by the government.
