The data centre boom in Chennai is leading to a higher demand for uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems. The trend is expected to continue, industry officials say.
A data centre is a place to store and compute data. According to JLL Research, the data centre industry has a capacity of 499 megawatts, of which Mumbai accounts for 225 MW, followed by Chennai with 62 megawatts.
JLL Research expects the data centre industry’s capacity to double to 1,008 MW by 2023. Mumbai and Chennai are expected to be at an advantage to harness the further growth mainly because of the cable ecosystem in these cities.
