<h1>Edge data centers in emerging cities to drive India's infrastructure growth by 2030</h1> A data center operator's executive states that emerging cities and edge centers will drive India's data storage infrastructure growth. Currently, two major cities hold 70% of national data center capacity, but future expansion focuses on edge and containerized data centers in smaller cities and remote areas. These facilities offer low-latency, scalable solutions for AI applications and real-time processing. The executive predicts edge and containerized centers will comprise 25-30% of new data infrastructure by 2030, as India's data center industry has grown significantly over eight years to reach $1.2 billion value.
