Unlocking India's Data Centre Investment Potential
Real Estate:Prateek Jhawar, MD & Head, Infrastructure & Real Assets Investment Banking, Avendus Capital, believes that India's DC market will pave the way for the next wave of investments in real estate. This sector has the potential to generate 25%+ IRR with a build-and-sell model, highlighting its potential for superior returns compared to other yielding real asset classes.

As the demand for DC capacity in India is expected to double to 2 GW by 2026, we anticipate heightened transaction activity from both public and private markets. Scaled investments with a vintage of over 4 years are expected to seek listing opportunities, while developers will look to raise larger amounts of capital to fund this growth.

The industry is maturing with the entry of long-term investors with commitments of over USD 250 million per investment, offering de-risked returns. This influx of investment will drive growth and development in the sector, making it an attractive opportunity for stakeholders.
