Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Microsoft Corp unveiled its fourth data centre in India on Monday (Mar 7), betting on rising digital consumption in one of its fastest-growing markets.<\/p>\n

Microsoft India head Anant Maheshwari said the company was making long-term investments in the country, although he declined to confirm reports by local media of a $2 billion price tag for the latest centre.<\/p>\n

“A public cloud data centre is not a one-time investment, it is a continuous investment that we have,” Maheshwari told Reuters. “In the last two years, we doubled the capacity in the existing three data centres.”<\/p>\n

The overall Indian public cloud services market is expected to reach US$10.8 billion by 2025, according to research firm IDC.<\/p>\n

India’s government has been nudging foreign tech companies to store more of their data locally, a move seen as New Delhi’s attempt to gain stricter oversight of Big Tech firms.<\/p>\n

Maheshwari said Microsoft was continuing to grow its workforce in India from 18,000 currently “both through the pandemic and going forward”.<\/p>\n

“We already serve more than 340,000 companies in the country,” Maheshwari said.<\/p>\n

The new data centre is located in India’s southern state of Telangana.<\/p>\n

The company’s business model, which relies on partners building additional services on top of its cloud platform, Azure, generated business worth about US$10 billion in the last five years, Maheshwari said.<\/p>\n

Competitors are joining the race in India. Key rival Amazon announced in late 2020 it would spend US$2.8 billion to build its second data centre in the country, while Adani Group last year announced plans to build six data centre parks across the country.<\/p>\n
