Several U.S. technology companies have put decisions on leasing large data-center facilities in India on hold as rising trade and policy uncertainty complicates long-term infrastructure commitments, according to reporting and industry sources.
New hyperscale deals for large colocation or leased data-center campuses have been stalled for more than two months, with unnamed industry contacts saying negotiations have been deferred while firms reassess risks tied to shifting U.S. trade policy and export controls, CNBC reported. It has been reported that some companies expect to revisit those plans in the next three to six months but are keeping options open in the meantime.
