Want to start a data centre in India? We help you get the land and the power

At Express Rupya, we help data centre developers, operators, hyperscalers, enterprises and investors buy or lease land for a data centre in India and line up reliable power for it, whether it is a first facility or a large campus.

A good data centre site needs more than acreage. It needs clear title, the right zoning, a substation within reach, enough grid capacity to scale, fibre routes and water. We find sites that meet these requirements and work with landowners, utilities and authorities to get the project moving.

Two things decide a data centre site: land and power

We source and assess both together, so you only commit to a site that can actually be powered.

Land for data centres

Buy or lease land that suits your facility, from smaller plots for edge data centres to contiguous 50–100+ acre parcels for hyperscale campuses.

  • Site sourcing: Shortlisting parcels near cloud and enterprise clusters, substations and fibre routes.
  • Flexible models: Outright purchase, long-term lease, joint development with landowners, or plots in state industrial and IT parks.
  • Land aggregation: Consolidating multi-owner holdings into a single contiguous site.
  • Title due diligence: Coordinating checks on revenue records, title chains, encumbrances and litigation with local legal experts.
  • Zoning and conversion: Assessing industrial or IT/ITeS land-use readiness and coordinating conversion where needed.

Power for data centres

Power is usually the critical-path item. We help you assess and line up the capacity your facility needs, now and as it scales.

  • Power feasibility: Mapping distance to 132 kV, 220 kV and 400 kV substations and checking the spare capacity available.
  • Grid connectivity: Coordinating with state electricity boards, distribution companies and transmission utilities on load sanction and connectivity applications.
  • Redundancy: Identifying sites where dual feeds from separate substations or circuits are possible.
  • Green power: Exploring renewable energy through open access, captive or group captive projects, and power purchase agreements.
  • State incentives: Identifying power-related benefits under state data centre policies, such as tariff concessions or dedicated feeders, where available.

Who we work with

From first-time entrants to global hyperscalers, we match the approach to the size and stage of your project.

First-time entrants

Companies planning their first data centre in India and looking for a starting point on land and power.

Developers and operators

Domestic and international players adding new campuses or expanding capacity.

Hyperscalers and cloud providers

Organisations needing large, power-ready sites with room to scale.

Enterprises

Businesses building a captive or edge data centre for their own operations.

Investors and funds

Private equity, infrastructure funds and family offices looking at data centre land and platforms.

Common challenges in setting up a data centre, and how we help

A data centre has infrastructure needs that ordinary real estate does not. These are the hurdles we see most often.

Finding large, contiguous land

The challenge

Hyperscale campuses need large, contiguous parcels with the right zoning, clear titles and room to expand. These are rare near major cities.

How we help

We source parcels of 50–100+ acres for hyperscale campuses, as well as smaller sites for edge facilities, positioned near cloud and enterprise clusters.

Securing enough power

The challenge

A data centre needs many megawatts of reliable power, often with room to grow. Getting a power allocation and grid connection is frequently the longest step in the project.

How we help

We assess power feasibility before you commit to a site. This covers substation proximity, transmission corridors, available capacity and green power options, and we coordinate early discussions with utilities.

Fibre connectivity

The challenge

Low latency depends on access to multiple fibre routes and nearby Points of Presence (PoPs).

How we help

We evaluate each site's position relative to long-distance fibre corridors and PoPs, including the possibility of diverse, dual-path fibre entry.

Fragmented ownership and title risk

The challenge

Large parcels in India often involve many owners, fragmented holdings and complex title histories.

How we help

We manage land aggregation and coordinate detailed title due diligence, including revenue records and litigation checks, before you commit.

Approvals and stakeholder coordination

The challenge

State data centre policies, land-use conversion, environmental clearances and local approvals can slow a project down.

How we help

We coordinate with landowners, state industrial development corporations, utilities and local authorities to keep approvals moving.

Beyond land and power: end-to-end support

Once the land and power are in place, we stay with you through the rest of the site process.

Alternate Text

Fibre and water assessment

Evaluating fibre routes, PoP proximity and industrial or recycled water availability.

Approvals coordination

Working with state industrial development corporations, utilities and local authorities on land-use, building and environmental approvals.

Stakeholder alignment

Bringing developers, landowners, government agencies and utilities to the same table.

Transaction structuring and negotiation

Advising on commercial terms and on purchase, lease or joint venture structures, and supporting definitive documentation.

Site parameters we evaluate

Each site is measured against the same technical checklist before it reaches your shortlist.

Parameter What we assess
Parcel size 50 to 100+ acres for hyperscale campuses; smaller parcels for edge and enterprise facilities
Power capacity Distance to 132 kV / 220 kV / 400 kV substations, spare capacity, and scope for additional MW as the campus grows
Power redundancy Possibility of dual feeds from separate substations or circuits
Green power Access to renewable energy through open access, captive or group captive projects
Fibre pathways Diverse entry routes and proximity to long-distance fibre corridors and PoPs
Topography and soil Load-bearing capacity, flood risk and grading requirements
Water security Industrial water supply, recycled water lines or other sustainable sources
Access and logistics Approach roads suitable for heavy construction and generator transport
Zoning and approvals Industrial or IT/ITeS land-use readiness and alignment with state data centre policy

Each site is evaluated against the client's own technical requirements and the applicable state data centre policy.

Frequently asked questions

We want to start a data centre in India. Where do we begin?
Start with your target IT load (in MW), preferred locations and timeline. We use these to shortlist land that can be powered at that scale, and then guide you through due diligence, utility discussions and the land transaction.
Can you help us get both the land and the power?
Yes. We help you source the land and assess power feasibility together, so you only commit to a site that can be powered. We coordinate early discussions with utilities on capacity and connectivity. The actual power allocation is granted by the utilities and authorities concerned.
What size of land do you handle?
We focus on contiguous parcels of 50–100+ acres for hyperscale campuses, and also help with smaller sites for edge and enterprise data centres.
Do we have to buy the land, or can we lease it?
Both are possible. Depending on the site, options include outright purchase, long-term lease, joint development with the landowner, or a plot in a state industrial or IT park.
Can you help us access green or renewable power?
Yes. We help explore renewable options such as open access, captive or group captive projects and power purchase agreements, depending on the state and site.
How do you handle title checks and land aggregation?
We manage aggregation of multi-owner land and coordinate title due diligence with local legal experts, covering revenue records, title chains, encumbrances and litigation.
Do you work with international operators and funds?
Yes. We work with international data centre operators, overseas funds and global infrastructure developers entering or expanding in India.
Which regions do you cover?
